Whirlpool FGP335H manual Before Using, Cooktop Use, Cooktop Controls, Surface Burners, Fire Hazard

BEFORE USING

Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first time the oven is used.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well ventilated room.

Power failure

In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob counterclockwise to LIGHT. After burner lights, turn knob to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may become hot.

WARNING

Surface Burners

IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the burner grate edges.

Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust removers.

SEALED SURFACE BURNERS (on some models)

Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a surface burner. A clean burner cap will help prevent poor ignition and uneven flames. Always clean the burner cap after a spillover and routinely remove and clean the caps according to the “General Cleaning” section.

Fire Hazard

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

Turn off all controls when not cooking.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.

Electric ignitors automatically light the surface burners when control knobs are turned to LIGHT.

Before setting a control knob, place filled cookware on the grate. Do not operate a burner using empty cookware or while the grate is unoccupied.
