IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

•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.

•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.

•Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause glass to break.

•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 a broiler pan without its grid. 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.

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 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.

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.
