IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

_l'l'VJV'-1:t_ll_[€'ll Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil, The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

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

before removing the pan,

•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

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

of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface

burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat

Settings--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 surface

burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual,
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric

shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods undera ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door--Stand to the side ofthe

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

below 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. 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 alumin um foil. Exposed fat

and grease could ignite.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fre. Pay particular attention to the area underneath

each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer
to the range manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosolsiAIways follow the

manufacturer's recommended directions for use, Be aware

that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
