iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
= Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place
a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit
off before removing the pan.
,, Use Proper Pan Size--This
appliance
is equipped with one
or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
= Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent
Surface Elements--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 is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
= Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended
at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
= Do Not Immerse
or Soak Removable
Heating
Elements--
Heating eiements should never be immersed in water.
Heating elements
clean themselves
during normal operation.
= 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.
• Protective Liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foit as recommended
in this
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
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 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.
°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
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 near
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 cIeaners 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.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
= Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer 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 under the left rear surface element if your model is
equipped with coil elements. 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.
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.
