Safety
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer —Stand to the side of the appliance 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 is vented at the front above the oven door
(ceramic glass cooktop models) or through the right rear element (coil element models).
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/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack. 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 oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
• Use Proper Pan Size —This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select utensils having fl at 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 effi ciency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units
—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of fl ammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface unit.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended —Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled 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 used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of
electric shock or fi re or a short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils —Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations
for cooktop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers . If an element 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.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop — If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualifi ed 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.
