Theoptional
cutting board accessory must be removed before operating the
griddle beneath or burners adjacent to it.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is
necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light
even though the electronic igniters activate. See "Cleaning Recommendations "on
Page 40.
WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and clean around the
burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or
cloth to clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any
type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to cor-
rode.
When using the oven: DO NOT TOUCH THE BROILER ELEMENT, THE INTE-
RIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR THE EXTERIOR AREA IMMEDIATELY
SURROUNDING THE DOOR. Interior oven surfaces become hot enough to cause
burns. The heat deflector, which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim
on the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when the oven is in use.
