IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USINGYOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a
pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off
before removing the pan.
• Use Proper
Pan Size--This
appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Elements--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 units.
• Never
Leave Surface
Elements
Unattended
at High Heat
Settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do Not Immerse
or Soak Removable
Heating
Elements i
Heating elements should never be immersed in water, Heating
elements clean themselves during normal operation,
• 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

Drawer (if
equipped)--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
under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with
coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for
models equipped with ceramic-glass
cook tops. 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.
• Protective Liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual.
improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.

cycle of any range. Move birds to another
well-ventilated
room.
