l Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
l Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
When using the oven
l Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
l Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
l Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
I
l Do not use water
on
grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipur-
pose dry chemical or foam-type extin-
guisher.
Care and cleaning
l Do not clean door heat seal. It is essen-
tial 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.
l 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.
l Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs
must be made by a Roper Distributor or
Qualified Agency.
l On some models, disconnect the
electrical supply before servicing the
range. On all models, disconnect the
gas supply at the shutoff valve near the
range before servicing.
