IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and
z
after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food
poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.
Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
z
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the appliance.
z
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the appliance.
z
The oven of your range cannot be used in the event of a power failure. Do not attempt
z
to operate these during power failure.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat
z
to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and
damage the finish of the oven or cooktop parts.
Do not place any dishes, trays, water or ice directly on the oven floor during cooking, as
z
doing so will irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel finish.
For safety reasons, the cooktop burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
z
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. This
z
appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes. Cookware must be matched
to the size of the burner. Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the
burner flames. The use of undersize utensils will expose a portion of the burner flames
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationships of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
Protective liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line grease drip-pans or oven bottoms.
z
Glazed cooking utensils – only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
z
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent cooktop burners
z
– 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 cooktop burners.
