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
range 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.
leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire
hazard.
DO NOT
pour spirits over hot foods.
DO NOT
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.

• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.
The food could be contaminated
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
Cookware 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.

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/ceramic, ceramic glazed cookware are suitable
for oven 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

and provides greater control and more even heating
• Two-speed, reversing fan is two times larger than most on the
market—this allows you to cook foods more thoroughly and evenly—
even when baking large quantities
• Four convection modes offering greater air circulation to shorten
cooking times and cook foods more evenly
• Three broiling modes including a new low-broil mode for delicate
broiling and top-browning
