Safety
Important safety instructions
Important instuctions for using your
cooktop
• Know which knob controls each surface
burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before
turning it on, and turn the burner off before
removing the pan
• Always turn knob to the full LiTE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check that
burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings--Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except
as suggested in this manual Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed cooking utensils--Only 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 Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cook top
use.
Important instructions for using your
OVeR
• 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 below the backguard.
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 insert. The
broiler pan and insert allows 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.
