Jenn-Air DUAL-FUEL SLIDE-IN RANGE warranty Important Safety INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, CONT.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Fol- low food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise dam- aged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.

UTENSIL SAFETY

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Al- ways turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven cooking bags.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of de-

vices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the compo- nents of the appliance.

HEATING ELEMENTS

NEVER touch oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior sur- faces of oven.

Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near elements and interior surfaces of an oven may be- come hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials con- tact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

CLEANING SAFETY

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had suffi- cient time to cool.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if ap- plied to a hot surface.

SELF-CLEAN OVEN

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essen- tial for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or flaming. CAUTION: Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc. in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

Slide-in ranges feature a cooling fan which operates automatically during a clean cycle. If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean

operation and contact an authorized servicer.

It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. There- fore, touching the cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE AND

WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposi- tion 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or repro- ductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize in- complete combustion. Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by prop- erly venting the burners to the outdoors.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self- clean cycle, there may be some low level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by prop- erly venting the oven to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle by opening a window and/or door in the room where the appli- ance is located.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
