Electrolux EW30IF60IS Use And Care Manual page 5

Important safety instructions
• Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook
top use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.
For ceramic-glass cook top models
• Do not cook on broken cook top—If cook top
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
• Clean cook top with caution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Important instructions for using your oven
• Use care when opening oven door or lower oven
drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the side of the 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 for models equipped
with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 use the 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.
• 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.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Self cleaning ovens
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self
cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks, broiler
pan, broiler pan insert 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.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
Important safety notice
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
