ALL APPLIANCES

1. Proper Installation —Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Appliance for Warming or Heating the
Room.

be alone or unattended in the area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Protective Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using

7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or
flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

1. 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.
2. 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 liner.
3. Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual. See Cleaning
section.
4. Before Self-Cleaning the Oven—Remove broiler pan,
oven racks, and other utensils.
5. Remove all items from range top and backguard.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface burner flame. 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 burner will also
improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
Heat Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
3. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range top service without breaking
due to sudden change in temperature.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned 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 a utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.

OVEN

1. Use Care When Opening Door—Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
2. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
3. Keep Oven Vents Ducts Unobstructed.
4. Placement of Oven Racks—Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack is
removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.

VENTILATION HOOD

1. Clean Ventilation Hood Frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2. When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The fan,
if operating, may spread the flame.
