should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR iNTERiOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even

though flames are not visible. 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent

openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel--Loose=fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating burners. Do not use atowel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USINGYOUR

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.

• Knowwhich 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 BeTurned 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 Heat 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 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 cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer-- Stand to the side ofthe 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 usethe 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.

• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit

has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

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.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Owner's Guide. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or

around any part of the oven.

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
