Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop--The
Searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop.
Doing so may result in a fire.
• Always turn the knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners, Visually check that the
burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not
extend the ed( of the utensil.
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas
burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed
gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion
and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide
levels above allowable current standards. This
can be hazardous to your health.
- 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. Protective liners or aluminum foil may
interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion.
Damage to the cooktop or personal injury may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
- Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If
a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able
to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.

IIvIPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warm
8=Serve Drawer (if equipped)--Stand to the side
of the appliance when opening the door/drawer of a
hot appliance. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven/drawer.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven
is vented at the center 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 the 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 Oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if
equipped) Racks. Always place oven/Warm & Serve
Drawer (if equipped) racks in desired location while
appliance is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before
removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the rack
with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders
contact the hot oven burner or interior of the oven.
- Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
- Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
aluminum foil, Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
- Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the
appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.
IIvIPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR OVEN
• Clean the appliance 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. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Cleaners/Aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
