appliance.

• DO NOTTOUCH SURFACEUNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS,

HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACESOF THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit

off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.

The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the

heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element will also

improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units--To reduce the risk of bums,

ignition offla mmable materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it isturned inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface units.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings--

Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ig nite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating

elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--Absence

of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liner_Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit

drip bowls, reflector pans, or oven bottom, or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils_nly certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without brea king due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan

on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer-- Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot

oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located under the right rear surface element. Touching the surfaces in

this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the

oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is

hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When

using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has

not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours

before turning on the power to the appliance
