Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another
surface element. This reduces the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.

NEVER
cook on broken cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper
towel is used on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burn.

Use care when opening door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing
food.
For proper oven operation and perfor-
mance, do not block or obstruct oven vent
duct located on the right side of the air
grille. When oven is in use, the area near the
vent and right side of the air grille may
become hot enough to cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired loca-
tions while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot element in oven.

Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not
clean door gasket. The gasket is essential
for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective coat-
ing of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils
to prevent excessive smoking, discolora-
tion of the oven racks or possible damage
to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially
greasy spills, before the clean cycle to pre-
vent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot
during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid touch-
ing the cooktop, door, window or oven
vent during a clean cycle.
Slide-in ranges feature a cooling fan which
operates automatically during a clean cycle.
If the fan does not turn on, cancel the clean
operation and contact an authorized
servicer.

LEMENTS
NEVER
touch surface or oven heating
elements, areas near elements, or
interior surfaces of oven.
Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface
elements and interior surfaces of an oven
may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable materials con-
tact heating elements, areas near elements,
or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include:
Cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, and surfaces near the vent opening,
oven door, areas around the door and oven
window.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is
completed.
NEVER
heat unopened containers on the
surface unit or in the oven. Pressure build-
up in the container may cause container to
burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to
the appliance.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers, stove top
grills or add-on oven convection systems.
The use of devices or accessories that are
not expressly recommended in this manual
can create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life
of the components of this appliance.
NEVER
use aluminum foil to line drip
bowls or cover oven racks or oven bottom.
This could result in risk of electric shock,
fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil
only as directed in this guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flam-
mable. Do not use or store near appliance,

OOKTOP
NEVER
leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An unat-
tended boilover could cause smoking and a
greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with flat
bottoms large enough to cover element.
Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct con-
tact and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed uten-
sils are suitable for cooktop or oven service
without breaking due to the sudden change
