Important Safety Instructions

•Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

•Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

•Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

•Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

•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 or warm & serve drawer (if equipped)—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/ warm & serve drawer.

•Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at the center rear 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 the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

•Placement of oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped) racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped) is 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 oven/warm & serve drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

•Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

•Do not cover your broiler insert 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 all utensils or foods from the oven.

•Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

5 • Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is
