Aluminum Foil And Utensils - Kenmore 970-3348 Series Use & Care Manual

Care & Cleaning
General cleaning
Refer to the Cleaning recommendation table in the Care &
Cleaning section for more detailed information about
cleaning specific parts of the range.
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the
oven. Provide adequate ventilation.

Aluminum foil and utensils

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil on a hot cooktop
can damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow aluminum foil to touch the
surface burners under ANY circumstances.
• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be taken
when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If
aluminum pans are allowed to boil dry when using the
cooktop, the utensil may be damaged or destroyed.
Replacing oven light (some models)
Be sure the range is unplugged and all parts
are COOL before replacing oven light. Wear a leather-
faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
The oven light is located at the rear of the oven cavity and
is covered with a glass shield held by a wire holder. The
glass shield protects the light bulb and must be in place
whenever the oven is in use.
