IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
,, Know which
knob controls
each surface
heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.
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 heating element.
The use of undersized
utensils
will expose a portion
of the
heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing.
Proper
relationship
of utensil
to element
will also
improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent
Surface Elements--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
units.
,, Never
Leave Surface
Elements
Unattended
at High
Heat
Settings--Believers
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 cook top service without breaking due to the sudden
change
in
temperature.
Check
the
manufacturer's
recommendations
for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
,, Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place--Absence
of these pans or bowls during cooking
may subject
wiring or
components
underneath
to damage.
,, Protective Liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
drip bowls,
or reflector
pans.
Only
use aluminum
foil as
recommended
in this manual.
Improper installation
of these
liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or
fi re.
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.
,, Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped
with ceramic-glass
cook tops. 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.
Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. 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
heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
,, Do not use the broiler pan without
its insert. The broiler pan and
its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high
heat of the broiler.
,, Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
Protective
Liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual.
Improper installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
,, Clean the range regularly
to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath
each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
,,Kitchen
cleaners
and
aerosols--Always
follow
the
manufacturer's
recommended
directions for use. Be aware
that excess
residue
from cleaners
and aerosols
may ignite
causing damage and injury.
* Clean Ventilating
Hoods Frequently--Grease
should
not be
allowed
to accumulate
on the
hood
or filter.
Follow
manufacturer's
instructions
for cleaning.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
