. nge Safety
• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch an open flame. Do not use
a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It
could catch on fire.
• Keep range vents unobstructed.
• Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
• Use only cookware approved for oven
use. Follow cookware manufacturer's
instructions, especially when using
glass or plastic cookware.
• Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line area
around surface burner, oven bottom,
or any other part of the range. Use
aluminum foil only as recommended
in this manual.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
• Any additions, changes, or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a KitchenAid servicer
or qualified agency.
• Disconnect the electrical supplyand the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near
range before servicing the range.
When using the cooktop
• Make sure the cookware you use is large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a cooktop could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
• Check to be sure glass cookware is
safe for use on the range. Only certain
types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware
are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature.
• Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
• Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
• Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vent. Wipe spillovers immediately.
