always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once the power

resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

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--Believers 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 under aventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
* Use Care When Opening Oven 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 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 aluminum 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 fire. 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 aerosols--Always 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

requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
