IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

•Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, the areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the door window and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.

Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.

Oven

•Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

•Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

•Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.

•Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

•When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

•Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

•Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

•Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

4

•Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

•Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

•For continuous clean models, do not use oven cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be identified by their rough surface finish.

Surface Cooking Units

(Electric Coil models only)

• Use proper pan size—Select

cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of the cookware to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

•Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

•Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

•Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere in the oven except as described in this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to the range.

•Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over the nearby surface units.

•Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

•To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the off position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

•Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
