Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
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

• Storage in or onAppliance--Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the storage/
warmer drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plasticand
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well
as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol

OVEN OR STORAGE/WARMER DRAWER (IF EQUIPPED). Areas
near surface burners 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 ovenvent openings andsurfaces
near these openings, oven door and window.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS(continued)
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
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.
• 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 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 the surface
burner pans, the 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 interfere with heat and air distribution, and
combustion. Damage to the range or personal injury may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for rangetop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner is
accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on.
Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause
combustion problems.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (IF EQUIPPED)
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--
Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven/warmer drawer. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oveniwa rmer drawer (if equipped).
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
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/Warmer Drawer Racks. Always place racks
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and g rasp
the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders
contact the oven burner flame or interior of the oven/warmer
drawer. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack.
• 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 (some models) with a damp
cloth. Doing socould cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
range or turn off the power to the range before removing and
replacing light bulb.
IM PORTANT 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 burner. 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. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Kitchen cleaners/aerosols_Always follow the manufacturer's
recommended 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. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. 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,
Grounding Instructions

grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard

electrical shock. DO NOT usean adapter plug or an extension
cord. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug. If a 2-prong wall receptacle isthe only available outlet,
it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle
