Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven
service without breaking due to the sud-
den change in temperature. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions when using
glass.
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.
Coil Elements
To prevent damage to removable heating
elements, do not immerse, soak or clean in
a dishwasher or self-clean oven. A dam-
aged element could short resulting in a
fire or shock hazard.
Make sure drip bowls are in place as ab-
sence of these bowls during cooking could
damage wiring.
Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these lin-
ers may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease pan or disposing of hot grease.
Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Save These Instructions for Future Reference
CAUTION: NEVER
store items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above an appli-
ance or on backguard of a range. Children
climbing on appliance, door or drawer to
reach items could damage the appliance
or be burned or seriously injured.
NEVER
allow children to sit or stand on
any part of appliance.
Children must be taught that the appli-
ance and utensils in or on it can be hot. Let
hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of
reach of children. Children should be
taught that an appliance is not a toy and
not to play with controls or other parts of
the unit.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to
prevent grease or other flammable materi-
als from accumulating to avoid fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods
(such as Cherries Jubilee) under the hood.
Important Safety
Notice and
Warning
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS:
Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil,
fat, margarine and overheated non-stick
cookware may be equally harmful.
Oven
Use care when opening oven 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. When oven is in use, the vent and
surrounding area 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 touch hot heating element.
Heating Elements
NEVER
touch surface or oven heating
elements, areas near elements, or inte-
rior 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.
Child Safety
NEVER
leave children alone or unsuper-
vised where appliance is in use or is hot.
