IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner
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 or burn-
ers because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be
blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop—If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Con-
tact 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—Stand to 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.
• Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its own
vent located on the top, near each side and towards the back
of the cooktop. 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 an oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil
linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are 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 ovens.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS• Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The broiler
pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Ex-
posed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Do-
ing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appli-
ance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing
and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and
grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could
catch fire. When you are flaming food under the hood, turn
the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• In the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed in
this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the
oven.
• Do not use oven cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner
or ovens liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
• Do not clean door gasket—The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
