IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease
filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven
listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils

For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these caracteristics:
Pans should have flat bottoms that make
good contact with the entire surface ele-
ment. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom. There should be no
gaps between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose. Follow manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Some utensils were not made to be
used in the oven or on the cooktop.
