IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Glazed cooking utensils —Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendationsforrangetop use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop —If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean cooktop glass with caution —If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door —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 oven.
•
• Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the
back of the cooktop. 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 an
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are 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 ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The
broiler pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are flaming
food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to the hood
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
» In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed
in this Use and 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 ovens liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do not clean door gasket —The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left
in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
A CAUTION I The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
