Important Safety Instructions
•
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp ob-
jects.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
•
Use Care When Opening Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)
—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).
•
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.
The broiler
pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
•
Do not cover the broiler or warmer drawer (if
equipped) 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. Greasy deposits in the fan
could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instruc-
tions for cleaning.
•
Cleaners/aerosols
—Always follow the manufacturer's
recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess
residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the
oven listed in this owner's guide.
Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in
the oven.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket.
The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage or move the gasket.
• Oven racks.
Oven racks color will change if left in the oven
during a self-cleaning cycle.
• Do not use oven cleaners.
No oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.
• Remove oven racks.
Oven racks color will change if left in
the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-clean
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
