IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can
result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable
current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold
temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first
time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make
sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/
32°F for at least 3 hours before connecting it to the power
supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Always turn
the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners. Visually
check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• Use Proper Pan Size —This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface
burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also
improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners —To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable 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 burners.
• Never Leave Surface Burners 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 surface
burner pans or 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 fire or
a short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils —Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for rangetop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers . If a burner
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 or burners because
the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the
burner and cause combustion problems.
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
rear of the cooktop. 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/drawer 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 appliance 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 instructions 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.
