■
Stand away from the range when opening the oven
door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause
burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
■
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
■
Keep the oven free from grease buildup. Grease
in the oven may ignite.
■
Place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
do not let pot holder contact hot heating element
in oven.
■
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces
of the door and oven walls.
■
Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in
an oven can ignite.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom.
Foil may trap or reflect heat leading to a shock or
fire hazard.
OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass
surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the
controls have been turned off.
■
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
■
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop
can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on
clothing.
■
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch
fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being
used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they
may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent
after it is turned off may cause them to ignite also.
■
Use CERAMA BRYTE
®
ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and
CERAMA BRYTE
®
Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light
goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth
on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
Note:
Sugar spills are an exception.
They should be scraped off while still hot using an
oven mitt and a scraper. See the
Cleaning the glass
cooktop
section for detailed instructions.
■
Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream label.
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Some models)
■
Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-
clean the surface units in an oven. Doing so may
cause them to fail presenting a burn or fire hazard.
■
To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock,
always be certain that the controls for all surface
units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool
before attempting to lift or remove a coil surface unit.
■
Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in
place. Their absence during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
