IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safe food handling: leave food in the oven for as short a time as possible before and after cooking. This is to avoid contamination by organisms which may cause food poisoning. Take particular care during warmer weather.

Clean only the parts listed in this manual.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean any part of the appliance.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the appliance.

Before self-cleaning the oven – Remove oven shelves, side racks, broiler pan and all other cookware/utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.

Before self-cleaning the oven –make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed and well- ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during a self- cleaning cycle, and may die if left in the same room as the range during such a cycle.

Do not use any cookware on the grill or griddle.

Top cover (lid) must be removed when the grill or griddle is in operation.

When using the grill or griddle, make sure the grease drip-pan is in place – absence of this during use may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

The oven(s), grill, and griddle of your range cannot be used in the event of a power failure. Do not attempt to operate these during power failure.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and damage the finish of the oven or cooktop parts.

Do not place any dishes, trays, water or ice directly on the oven floor during cooking, as doing so will irreversibly damage the porcelain enamel finish.

For safety reasons, the cooktop burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes. Cookware must be matched to the size of the burner. Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner flames. The use of undersize utensils will expose a portion of the burner flames to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationships of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

Protective liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line grease drip-pans or oven bottoms. Glazed cooking utensils – only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent cooktop burners – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent cooktop burners.
