MPORTANT
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven
is on and for several minutes after oven is
turned off. Some parts of the vent and
surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not
touch the oven vent or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven
door, areas around the oven door and oven
window.
WARNING:
NEVER use
appliance door, or drawer, if
equipped, as a step stool or seat as
this may result in possible tipping of
the appliance, damage to the appli-
ance, and serious injuries.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should
the bulb break, disconnect power to the
appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.

OOKING AFETY
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off be-
fore removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that
it does not extend beyond the bottom edge
of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous,
wastes energy and may damage the appli-
ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
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.

AFETY NSTRUCTIONS
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure
build-up may cause container to burst re-
sulting in serious personal injury or damage
to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. 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 burners 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 flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumu-
lating on hood or filter. When flaming foods
under the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flam-
mable 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.
Always remove soiled broiler pan from the
broiler compartment after cooking. Grease
left in the pan may become hot enough
to ignite.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Fol-
low food manufacturer's instructions. If a
plastic frozen food container and/or its
cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise dam-
aged during cooking, immediately discard
the food and its container. The food could
be contaminated.
,
CONT
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.
Do not use aluminum foil to line burner
spillover bowl. Restriction of normal air flow
may result in unsafe operation.
U
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, espe-
cially 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 surface 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
cooktop 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 per-
formance 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 convec-
