RANGE SAFETY

When using the oven

•Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be removed while oven is hot, do not let pot holder contact hot heating elements in oven.

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

Grease

•Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well- fitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Care and cleaning

•Small amounts of formaldehyde and carbon monoxide are given off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these substances could cause cancer or reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by venting with a hood or open window and wiping out excess food spills prior to self-cleaning.

•Do not use oven cleaners. No commer- cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and other cookware. Do not use your oven to clean miscellaneous parts unless you are instructed to do so in this Use and Care Guide.

•Coil element cooktop models: Do not soak removable heating elements in water. The elements will be damaged and shock or fire could result.

•Ceramic glass cooktop model: Clean cooktop with care. Some cleaners could produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet soft cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns.

•Do not clean door heat seal. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the seal. Clean only parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the range.
