Important Safety Information
VENTILATION HOODS
1. Clean Ventilation Hoods Frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2. When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The
fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
Due to the nature of cooking, fires can occur as a result
of over cooking or excessive grease. Though a fire is
unlikely, if one occurs, proceed as follows:
Surface Element Fire
1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking
soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not
water. Not salt. Not flour.
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface
controls to "OFF".
Oven Fires
1. If you see smoke from your oven, do not open oven
door.
2. Turn oven control to "OFF".
3. As an added precaution, turn off power at main
circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.
5. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven. Do not
open oven door.
6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.
7. If there is any damage to components, call an
authorized servicer.
Precautions
• Do not cook food directly on range top surface, always
use cookware.
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They
may stick and melt.
• Do not slide rough objects across range top surface.
Scratching or metal marking can result.
• Do not use cookware with rough bottoms. They may
scratch smoothtop surface. Glass and ceramic
cookware should not be used.
• Do not use damp sponge or dishcloth to clean range
top. A film of soil-laden detergent water may collect on
range top. If this should happen, Amana Cleaning
Conditioning Cream removes this type of stain.
• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat
can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage
to cooking surface and pan.
• Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.
• Do not use range for storage or as a display counter.
