Frigidaire PLCF489GC - 40 Inch Dual Fuel Range Use & Care Manual page 5

• Clean cooktop glass with caution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be care-
ful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harm-
ful 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—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.
• Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. 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 an oven
vent. These items could melt or ignite.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not
let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the ov-
ens. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use a broiler pan without its grid. Broiler pan
and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appli-
ance or turn off the power to the appliance before remov-
ing and replacing light bulb.
Conversion to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (or L. P. Gas)
This natural gas range is designed to allow for conversion
to Liquefied Petroleum (L. P.) Gas.
Only a qualified service agent should perform the L. P.
conversion. Call an authorized servicer if you wish to have
them perform the conversion. An L. P. Conversion Kit is
provided with this range and is located on the main back of
the range. The kit contains installation instructions which must
be read before and followed carefully when installing the kit.

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 on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood,
turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instruc-
tions for cleaning.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,
remove the all utensils or foods from the oven.
• Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner
or ovens liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
• Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely sensi-
tive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of
any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
