Important safety instructions
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to
line the oven bottom, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
lower oven drawer, near surface units or in
the storage drawer. This includes paper,
plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,
plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol
cans, on or near the range.
• Do not leave children alone—Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area
where appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE ZONE, AREAS
NEAR THESE ZONE, HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVENS. ALL
surface zones and oven heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface zones 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.
• Wear proper apparel—Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or
other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—
Smother 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 elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the range. If the range is not turned off and the
power resumes, the range will begin to operate
again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock
and oven function.
• 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 instuctions for using your
cooktop
• Know which control operates each surface
heating zone. Place a pan of food on the unit
before turning it on, and turn the zone off before
removing the pan.
• Use proper pan size—This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also
improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface elements—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 units.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at
high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements—Heating elements should never be
immersed in water. Heating elements clean
themselves during normal operation.
