IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame sizeso
it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The useof
undersized utensils will expose aportion of the burner flameto
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 isturned 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 usealuminum foil to line surface
burner pans, oven bottom or anyother partof the range. Use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with heat
and airdistribution, and combustion. Damage tothe 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 intemperature. Check
the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Do Not UseDecorative Surface Burner Covers. Ifaburner
isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become
hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to seethat the
burner ison. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage mayalso bedone 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

range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steamescape before you remove or replacefood in the oven.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven isvented
below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area
when the oven isoperating may causesevere 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 ishot, useextreme caution. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contactthe oven burner flame or interior of the
oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
° Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Payparticular 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. Greasydeposits in the fan could catch
fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for
cleaning.
