Important Safety Instructions

Coil Elements

To prevent damage to removable surface heating elements, do not immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean oven. A damaged element could short, resulting in a fire or shock hazard.

Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these bowls during cooking could damage wiring.

Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the guide. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Ovens

Use care when opening doors. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

For proper oven operation and performance, do not block or obstruct oven vent duct. When ovens are in use, the vent and surrounding area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns.

Always place oven racks in desired locations while ovens are cool. If rack must be moved while an oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot element in oven.

Heating Elements

NEVER touch surface or oven heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of ovens.

Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements and interior surfaces of the ovens may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of ovens until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other potentially hot surfaces include: cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven doors, areas around the doors and oven windows.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan.

Self-Cleaning Ovens

CAUTION

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket. The gasket is essential for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or move the gasket.

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 ovens.

Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, before the clean cycle to prevent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.

It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touching the cooktop, door, window or oven vent during a clean cycle.
