important Safety
Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if "
equipped) for storage.
• Storage in or on appliance--Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface units ,
or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper,
plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware
and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appli-
ance. Flammable materials may explode and result in
fire or property damage. ,,
• 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 elements. Do not
use atowel 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 fairs, always turn
the oven off. If the oven isnot 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 3hours before
connecting it to the power supply.

iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

,, Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on,
and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
,, 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.

instructions

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy accu-
mulations that may ignite, or a pan that hasboiled 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
linersor 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. Ifan
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur ifthe
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the cooktop.
When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

,, Do not cook on or clean 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 ifapplied 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)--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 /
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
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements inthe 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.
