containers which may cause them to burst.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to
heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near
an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts
of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave
plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too
close to the vent or a surface element.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic
items may become hot and cause burns.
over hot foods.
herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.
DO NOT
leave oven unsupervised when drying
DO NOT
pour spirits
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame.
Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
Child Safety
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface elements,
cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If
storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used
infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to
heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some
items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance
when it is in use or is still hot.
• NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance
as they could be injured or burned.
Child Safety (cont.)
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can
be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small
children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy.
Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts
of the appliance.
Cooking Safety
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be
sure you know which knob controls which surface element. Make
sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed,
turn element off before removing pan.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially
when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element or in
the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting
in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns
from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be
used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface
elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool
before attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean
hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or
filter. When flaming foods under the hood turn the fan off.
• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose
fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite
or catch utensil handles.
• ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is
cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy
potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove
food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder.
• ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before moving or replacing food.

Utensil Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped
and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or
loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans,
with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans
that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be
hazardous.
• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that
is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend
handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward
the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where
they are easily hit or reached by small children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the
appliance.
•
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cooking bags.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop surface or oven usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories
that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use
eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven
convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of
the components of the appliance.
Utensil Safety
To avoid risk of property damage, DO NOT use cast
iron cookware. Cast iron retains heat and may result in
damaging the rangetop.

CAUTION
CAUTION
Warnings
Getting Started
This range features a self-cleaning cycle. During this cycle, the
oven reaches elevated temperatures in order to burn off soil
and deposits. A powder ash residue is left in the bottom of the
oven after completion of the self-clean cycle.
NOTE: DO NOT use commercial oven cleaners inside the oven.
Use of these cleaners can produce hazardous fumes or can
damage the porcelain finishes. DO NOT line the oven with
aluminum foil or other materials. These items can melt or burn
during a self-clean cycle, causing permanent damage to the oven.
DO NOT touch the exterior portions of the oven
after self-cleaning cycle has begun, since some
parts become extremely hot to the touch!
During the first few times the self-cleaning feature is used,
there may be some odor and smoking from the “curing” of
the binder in the high-density insulation used in the oven.
When the insulation is thoroughly cured, this odor will
disappear. During subsequent self-cleaning cycles, you may
sense an odor characteristic of high temperatures.
KEEP THE KITCHEN WELL-VENTED DURING THE
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
Before Using Range
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove
any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained
from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the
range thoroughly with hot, soapy water. There may be some
burn off and odors on first use of the appliance–this is normal.
Glass Rangetop
Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A
thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.
Oven
IMPORTANT! Before first use, wipe interior with soapy
water and dry thoroughly. Then set the oven selector to
bake, the thermostat to 450°F, and operate for an hour.

preheating time and provides greater control and more
even heating
FIRE HAZARD
You must carefully check the food during the dehydration
process to ensure that it does not catch fire.
BURN HAZARD
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than
usual, therefore, children should be kept away.
FALLING HAZARD
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the
unit. Children climbing to reach items could be
seriously injured.
