appliance
is in use,
They
should
never
be allowed
to sit or stand
on any part of the

• DO NOTTOUCH
SURFACE
BURNERS,
AREAS
NEARTHESE
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
burners.
Do not use a towel
or
other
bulky
cloth
instead
of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened
Food
Containers--Buildup
of
pressure

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

and oven function.
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 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 cooktop
service
without
breaking
due to the
sudden
change
in temperature.
Check
the manufacturer's
recommendations
for
cooktop
use.
