IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USING
YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
'I'W_-_;t;II;[_
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.
• 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 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, oven bottom or any other part of the range.
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
interfere
with
heat and air
distribution,
and combustion.
Damage
to the
range or
personal injury may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only
certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other
glazed
utensils are
suitable for rangetop
service without
breaking
due to the
sudden change
in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's
recommendations
for rangetop
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.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USING
YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening 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 is vented
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
oven burner flame or interior
of the oven. Remove all utensils
from the rack before removing
rack.
• Do not use the broiler pan without
its insert. The broiler pan
and 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.
• Do not touch
a hot light bulb (some models) with a damp
cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break.
Disconnect the
range or turn off the power to the range before removing and
replacing
light bulb.

IN STRUCTION
S FORCLEANING
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 burner. 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.
• Kitchen 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CONTINUOUS
CLEANING
OVENS (some
models):
• Do not use oven cleaners on the oven liner or any of the
continuous
cleaning surfaces. Continuous
cleaning
surfaces
can be identified by their rough surface finish.
