IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burnerfiame
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
• Knowwhich 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 ofthese liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking
Utensils--Only
certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or otherglazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to
sudden change in temperatures.
Check the manufacturer's
recommendations
for cooktop use.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUROVEN

Drawer--
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.

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.

pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.

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
