Important Safety instructions

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

•Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

•Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother

the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

•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 burners. 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--ELECTRIC IGNITION MODELS ONLY: Do not

attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. Ifthe power fails, always turn off the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjustflame size

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burnerflame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burneroff before removing the pan.

•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so itdoes not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface		Burners--To	reduce the
risk of burns, ignitionof flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
• 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,

•Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven 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. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

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

•Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

•Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32 °F (0°C) for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.
