Choose pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough
to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down
the risk of setting potholders or clothing on fire with an
uncovered element and waste less energy.
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Never
try to clean utensils, cookware or removable
parts of your range in the oven during a self-clean cycle.

unless instructions are given in this book.

cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Never put removable beating elements in water. Do not
put them in a dishwasher.

clean cycle of your oven.
Never use the cooktop without reflector pans or drip
bowls in place.
