IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ALL APPLIANCES
1. Proper Installation —Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Appliance for Warming or Heating the
Room.
3. Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be
alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Protective Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using appliance.
5. User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
6. Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials
should not be stored in oven or near surface units.
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or
flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch burner. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
OVEN
1. Use Care When Opening Door—Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
2. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
3. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom. Improper installation of these liners can
cause fire.
4. Keep Oven Vents Ducts Unobstructed.
5. Placement of Oven Racks—Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven is cool.
6. Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven during
or immediately after use. Do not let clothing or other
flammable material contact the bake and broil burner.
7. Other areas of the oven can become hot enough to
cause burns, such as vent openings, oven door, and
oven racks.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. Use Proper Pan Size—Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner
flame. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
3. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due
to sudden change in temperature.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it
is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
6. Clean rangetop with caution. To avoid steam burns,
do not use a wet sponge or cloth to wipe up spill on a
hot cooking area.
7. Do not place aluminum foil or food packaged in
aluminum foil directly on the flame.
Delayed Ignition
Surface Burners
Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does not
ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF position
and follow directions in "Cleaning Surface Burners" and
"Before Calling for Service" section. Try burner again. If
burner still does not ignite in 4 seconds, contact an
authorized servicer.
Bake and Broil Burner Flame
Allow no more than 40–60 seconds before burner ignites
and heat is felt. To check for heat, open oven door to first
stop and place hand over oven door. If heat is not felt, turn
temperature knob to OFF position. If burner repeatedly
fails to ignite, contact an authorized servicer.
