important Safety instructions
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE
BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR iNTERiOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though
flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable
materials
touch these areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings
and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting
or hanging
garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.
Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother
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.
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.
IMPORTANT--ELECTRIC
iGNiTiON
MODELS
ONLY:
Do not
attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails,
always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power
resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once the power
resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS
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 burner flame to
direct
contact
and may result
in ignition
of clothing.
Proper
relationship
of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.
,, Know which 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
of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
,, 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.

iNSTRUCTiONS
FOR USING YOU R OVEN
,, Use Care When Opening
Oven 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 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. 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.
