IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass 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 harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other ma-
terials or devices to line oven bottom, oven
racks, or any other part of the appliance.
Only use aluminum as recommended for
baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover
placed on food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance 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. Touch-
ing 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 potholder contact hot burner or element in
oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Remove all cook-
ware 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; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always
cook in proper cookware and always use the
oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-
ING YOUR OVEN
CAUTION
Before manually cleaning any part of the
appliance, be sure all controls are turned off
and the range is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can
cause burns.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not
allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits
in the fan could catch fire.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen cleaners
and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue
from cleaners and aerosols may ignite caus-
ing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently - Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the
hood or filter. Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions for cleaning vent hoods.
