important Safety instructions
Wear proper apparelmLoose-fitting
or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy accu-
mulations that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
Do not use water or flour on grease firesmSmother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Protective liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. 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 short circuit.
Use only dry potholders--Moist
or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Do not heat unopened food containers_Buildup
of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury,
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.
Glazed cooking
utensils--Only
certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers, if an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop.
IMPORTANT--Do
not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure, if the power fails, always turn
the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

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 flat 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 be turned inward and 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.
• Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls
Are in Place.
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject
wiring or components underneath to damage.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS
ONLY
•
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf
cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immedi-
ately.
•
Clean cooktop glass 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.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
•
Use care when opening oven door or warmer 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 /
warmer drawer.
