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.
= 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 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.
o 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.
o 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warm
& 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.
o 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.
IMPORTANT
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.
= Clean in the self-cleaning
cycle only the parts of
the appliance
listed in this Owner's Guide, Before
using the self-cleaning cycle of the appliance, remove
all utensils stored in the appliance.
