Page: 12 / 56

Always disconnect power to appliance before any type of servicing.
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance. They may cause permanent
damage to the surface.
When cooking, set the burner controls so that the flame heats only the bottom of the utensil and does
not overlap at the sides of the utensil.
Utensils (pots and pans) that conduct heat slowly, i.e. glass pots, should be used in conjunction with
burner flames at a low or medium setting.
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool down before touching them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until cool.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Clean appliance with caution.
Always turn pot handles to the side or back of the range. Do not turn handles towards the area where
they are easily burned. Handles should not extend over the adjacent burners.
Use the range only for cooking tasks as outlined in this manual. When using the range, do not touch the
grates, burner caps, burner bases, or any other parts in proximity to the flame. These components may
be hot enough to cause burns.
Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to explode and
result in injury.
During and after use, do not touch interior surfaces of the oven until cool.
Do not let pot holder touch hot surface areas.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not touch oven surfaces during self-clean operation. Keep children away from the oven during
self-cleaning. Failure to follow these instructions may cause burns. Before operating the self-clean
cycle,wiping off all excessive spillage, remove pans,shiny metal oven racks and other utensils from the
oven. Only enameled (not shiny) oven racks may be left in the oven. Do not use self-clean to clean other
parts, such as drip pans or bowls. Before operating the self-clean cycle, wipe grease and food soils from
the oven.
Excessive amount of grease may ignite leading to smoke damage to your home. If the self-cleaning
mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified
technician. Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Never keep
pet birds in the kitchen. Birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an oven self-clean
cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds to a well-ventilated room.
