the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

_Do not use the oven for storage.

• Storage in or on Appliance -- Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials may explode and result

in fire or property damage.

Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven

door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel -- Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders -- Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a

potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build-up of pres- sure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS (continued)

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface beating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size -- This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating

unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

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

burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended -- Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has

boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as

recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a

risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils -- Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suit- able for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommenda- tions for rangetop use.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use CareWhen Opening Door--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 is vented between the cooktop and the backguard. 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. Remove all utensils from the rack

before removing rack. 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 oven element or interior of the oven.

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

high heat of the broiler.

* Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat

and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or turn off the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food

under the hood turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/Aerosols -- Always follow the manufacturer's recom- mended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from

cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any

part of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks colour will change if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive

to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
