Safety
Important safety instructions
Glazed cooking utensil s-- On ly certain types of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Checkthe manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
For Ceramic-glass cooktop models
• Do not cook on broken cook top-- If cook top
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cook top and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
Clean cook top 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 noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface.
Important instructions for using your oven
* Use care when opening oven door or lower
oven 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.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven
vent is located under the left rear surface
element if your model is equipped with coil
elements. The oven vent is located below the
backguard for models equipped with ceramic-
glass cook tops. 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.
Placement of oven racks. Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is 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 oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat
to drain and be kept away from the high heat of
the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control. When using the appliance for the first
time, or when the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, be certain the
unit has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C)
for at least 3 hours before turning on the power
to the appliance.
Important instructions for cleaning your
range
= Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular
attention to the area underneath each surface
element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
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.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently-- Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the
hood or filter. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
Self cleaning ovens
= Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self
cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and
any utensils or foods from the oven.
• Do not use oven cleaners-- No commercial oven
cleaner or oven 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.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
