should
never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE
BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE
OVEN. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though
flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable
materials
touch these areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are
the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings
and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.

Do not let
clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease FiresiSmother
the fire
with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical
or foam-type
extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may
catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist
or damp potholders
on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
instead of a potholder.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup
of pressure
may cause container
to burst and result in injury.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored
or discarded,
IMPORTANT--ELECTRIC

IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust
flame size so it
does not extend
beyond the edge of the utensil.
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 flame will also improve efficiency.
Know which
knob controls
each surface burner.
Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
=Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top
burners,
Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
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 the utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
Never
Leave Surface
Burners
Unattended
at High
Heat
Settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective
Liners--Do
not use aluminum
foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
,, Glazed Cooking
Utensils--Only
certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic,
ceramic,
earthenware,
or other glazed
utensils
are
suitable
for cooktop service
without
breaking
due to sudden
change
in
temperatures.
Check
the
manufacturer's
recommendations
for cooktop use.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING YOUR OVEN
Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer--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
oveR.
* Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
The oven vent is located
below the backguard.
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.
* Cold temperatures
can damage the electronic
control.
When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures
above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS

to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire, Pay particular attention to the area
underneath
each surface element. Do not allow grease to
accumulate.
Refer to the range manufacturer's
instructions
for
cleaning.
,, Kitchen cleaners
and aerosols--Always
follow
the
manufacturer's
recommended
directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners
and aerosols
may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF-CLEANING
OVENS
* Clean in the self-cleaning
cycle only the parts listed in this
Use & Care Guide.
Before self cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
,, Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No
commercial
oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
