IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, CONT.

potholders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry potholder. Always turn the oven off at the end of cooking.

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before moving or replacing food.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover dis- torts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated.

NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

UTENSIL SAFETY

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose- handled pans. Also avoid using pans, espe- cially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven cooking bags.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection systems. The use of de- vices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in perfor- mance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

CLEANING SAFETY

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had suffi- cient time to cool.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if ap- plied to a hot surface.

SELF-CLEAN OVEN

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is es- sential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners of any kind in or around any part of the self-clean oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers to prevent excessive smoke, flare-ups or flaming.

CAUTION: Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc. in the oven during the self- clean cycle.

It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a self-clean cycle. There- fore, touching the cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE AND

WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposi- tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor- nia to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low- level exposure to some of the listed sub- stances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petro- leum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete combustion. Ex- posure to these substances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self- clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by prop- erly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANTNOTICEREGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re- leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cook- ware may be equally harmful.
