Do
not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance
before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
Cooking
Safety
Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning
it
on. Be sure you know which knob controls which
surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned
on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to
prevent exposure to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive
flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the
appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended,
especially when using a high heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.
Do not use high heat for extended cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container
on the surface
burner or in the oven. Pressure build-up
may cause
container to burst, resulting
in serious personal injury or
damage to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders.
Damp potholders
may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes
should never be used as potholders
because they can
trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught
on appliance
parts.
Always let quantities
of hot fat used for deep fat frying
cool before attempting
to move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials
accumulate
in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently
to prevent grease from
accumulating
on hood or filter. When flaming foods
under the hood, turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments
made of flammable
material or
loose fitting or long-sleeved
apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry, sturdy potholders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved
while hot, use a dry potholder. Always turn the oven off
at the end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before moving or replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
Follow food
manufacturer's
instructions.
If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately
discard the food
and its container. The food could be contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven
bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in
this guide.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled
pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to
move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly
important
in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate
the
volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble
action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and
spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent surface burners.
Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit
or reached by small children.
NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the
utensil and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's
directions when using oven
cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden change in tempera-
ture. Follow manufacturer's
instructions when using glass.
This appliance
has been tested for safe performance
using conventional
cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically
recommended
in
this guide. De not use element covers for the surface
units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems.
The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended
in this manual can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance
problems, and reduce the
life of the components
of the appliance.
Cleaning
Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance
parts to cool
before touching
or cleaning them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding
areas until they have had
sufficient
time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
