important Safety instructions
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Use only dry potholders--Moist
or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup
of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only
certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check
the manufacturer's recommendations
for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative
surface element covers, if an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if
the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the cooktop.
•
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do
not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
•
Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select uten-
sils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the sur-
face unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spill-
age due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
Never leave surface burners
unattended
at high
heat settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy
accumulations
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled
dry may melt.
Protective liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only
use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used
as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protec-
tive liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
FOR COOKTOPS
WITH COIL ELEMENTS
ONLY
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable
Surface Heating
Elements. Surface heating elements should never be im-
merse in water. Heating elements clean themselves during
normal operation.
• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place. Ab-
sence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
ONLY
•
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf
cook-
top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of elec-
tric 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
•
Use care when opening oven door or warmer
drawer (if equipped)--Stand
to the side of the range
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or
steam escape before you remove or replace food in the
oven / warmer drawer.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
The oven is
vented through the right rear coil element or at right
side of the front panel and visible when the oven door
is open. Touching the surfaces in this area when the
oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven
vent. These items could melt or ignite.
