Important Safety Instructions
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.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that
is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and
the appliance.
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when using
high heat. An unattended 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.
Coil Elements
To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not
immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean oven. A
damaged element could short resulting in a fire or shock
hazard.
Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence 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 liners may result in a risk
of electric shock or fire.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or dispos-
ing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or
other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or filter
and to avoid grease fires.
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
Cleaning Safety
Clean cooktop with caution. Turn off all controls and wait for
appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Clean with

caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
Self-Clean Oven
Do not leave racks, broiling pan, food or cooking utensils, etc.
in the oven during the self-clean cycle.
Do not clean 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 or oven liners of any kind in or around
any part of the self-clean oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks
and other utensils, and wipe off excessive spillovers to prevent
excessive smoke or flare ups.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot during a
self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop during a clean
cycle should be avoided.
Important Safety Notice and
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is
engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level
exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon
monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by
properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the
windows and/or door in the room where the appliance is
located during the self-clean cycle.
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 released 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.
