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 utensils
having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface 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 BeTurned
inward and Should
Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units -- To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
= Never Leave Surface
Units
Unattended
-- Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a
pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements
-- Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• Glazed Cooking
Utensils -- Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic,
ceramic,
earthenware,
or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the
sudden change in temperature.
Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Placement
of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven iscool. Remove all utensils from
the rack before removing rack. 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 oven element or interiorof the oven.
• Do not use the broiler pan without
its insert. The 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
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 range or
turn off the power to the range before removing and
replacing light bulb.
• Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the
food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
SELF=CLEANING
OVENS
• Clean in the self=cleaning
cycle only the parts of the
oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in
the oven.
FOR CERAMIC
GLASS
COOKTOP
MODELS
• Do Not Clean or Operate
a Broken
Cooktop --
if
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop 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.

FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening 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 inthe oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
between the cooktop and 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 itemson or
near the oven vent.These itemscould melt or ignite.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protectivecoating of any kind should be used in or around any part
of the oven.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks colour will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health
of some birds
is extremely
sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self=clean
cycle of any range. Move birds to another
well venti=
lated room.
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.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.
Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
