IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type
fire extinguisher.
■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the oven.
WARNING
SELF-CLEANING OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(on some models)
The self-cleaning feature operates the oven at temperatures high enough to burn away food soils in the oven. Follow
these instructions for safe operation.
■ 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, remove pans, shiny
metal oven racks and other utensils from the oven. Only
porcelain-coated oven racks may be left in the oven.
■ 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 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.
■ 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.
■
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well-
ventilated room.
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium
or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may
ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding
cabinets.
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount
of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking
frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
■ Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable
or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched
to the size of the burner. Burner flames should be
adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom
of the pan. Excessive flame may be hazardous.
■ Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
■ When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because
of sudden change in temperature.sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby burners.
■ Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The
ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting
in a carbon monoxide hazard.
■ Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting
in a gas leak and risk of fire.
■ When disabling Lock Control (on some models), make
sure the surface controls are set to the OFF position.
This will prevent unintended gas flow from the burners.
■ Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line
any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
