IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
WARNING
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.
•
Know which 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.
•
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 burners.
•
Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking and
greasy spill overs that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
•
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 recom-
mendations for cook top use.
•
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
•
Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which
operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a
range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas
ranges other than when the hood and range have
been designed, tested and listed by an indepen-
dent test laboratory for use in combination with
each other.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
•
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
•
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven 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. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items can 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, do not let
potholders contact hot heating element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands
to reposition.Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
•
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil or any other
material; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
•
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil or any
other materials or liners to line surface or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock, or fire.
•
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper cookware and always use the oven
racks.
