Aerosol-type cans are explosive when
exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Do not use or store near
appliance.
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An un-
attended boilover could cause smoking
and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with
flat bottoms large enough to cover
element. Fitting pan size to element will
improve cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion
of the element will be exposed to direct
contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceram-
ic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven
service without breaking due to the sud-
den change in temperature. Follow uten-
sil manufacturer’s instructions when us-
ing glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cook-
top, not out into the room or over another
surface element. This reduces the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cook-
top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician im-
mediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some clean-
ers can produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or
paper towel is used on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease pan or disposing of hot grease.
Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Oven
Use care when opening door. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or re-
placing food.
For proper oven operation and perfor-
mance, do not block or obstruct oven
vent duct. When in use, the vent and sur-
rounding area may become hot enough
to cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired loca-
tions while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot element in oven.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do
not clean door gasket. The gasket is es-
sential for a good seal. Do not rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils
to prevent excessive smoking, discolora-
tion of the oven racks or possible damage
to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially
greasy spills, before the clean cycle to
prevent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot
during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid
touching the cooktop, door, window or
oven vent during a clean cycle.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface or oven heating
elements, areas near elements, or in-
terior surfaces of oven.
Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface elements and interior surfaces of
an oven may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements,
areas near elements, or interior surfaces
of oven until they have had sufficient time
to cool.
