Important Safety Instructions

•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

•Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

•Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

•Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. (Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.)

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

•Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

•Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.

•Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

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

Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without break- ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an

element 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.

FOR COOKTOPS WITH COIL ELEMENTS ONLY

•Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Surface Heating Elements. Surface heating elements should never be immerse in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

•Make Sure Drip Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

•Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf 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 warmer drawer (if equipped)--Standto 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 warmer drawer.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is located at right side of the front panel and visible when the oven door is open. 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.

•Placement of oven/warmer drawer (if equipped)

Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven/warmer 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 reposi- tion. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped). Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

•Do not use the 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.
