iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.

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 burners 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--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 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.

•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.

•Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. Tile 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. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth, Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance 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
man ufacturer's instructions for cleaning.	'_:;

ignite causing damage and injury.

SELF CLEANING OVENS
