IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
UTENSIL SAFETY
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
small pans, especially small pans with heavy handles, as
they can 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.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units,
stove top grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The
use of devices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CLEANING SAFETY
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner
grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
SELF-CLEAN OVEN
Clean only parts listed in this manual. 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.
Do not use oven cleaners of any kind in or around any
part of the self-clean oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven
racks, and other utensils, and wipe off excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare ups.
CAUTION: Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc. in
the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Slide-in ranges feature a cooling fan which operates
automatically during a clean cycle. If the fan does not turn
on, cancel the clean operation and contact an authorized
servicer.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching or lifting the
cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of
the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of
natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly
adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by
properly venting the burners to the outdoors.
