Safety Practices to Avoid Personal Injury
Remove the optional cutting board accessory, which is
stored on top of the griddle plate, before operating the
griddle or any adjacent burners.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect. Clean after each use.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep
the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports
when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light
even though the electronic igniters activate. See "Cleaning
Recommendations" on page 32.
WARNING:
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and
clean around the burner and burner ports. After
cleaning, check for proper operation.
Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not
use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner
manufacturer.
Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or
cause metal parts to corrode.
When using the oven: DO NOT TOUCH THE BROILER
ELEMENT, THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN
OR THE EXTERIOR AREA IMMEDIATELY
SURROUNDING THE DOOR. Interior oven surfaces
become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector,
which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on
the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when
the oven is in use.
Place oven racks in desired position while oven is cool. If a
rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the
potholders contact the broiler element.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing foods.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven
racks and any other utensils, and excess spillage.
Do not clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door
gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the
gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food
particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.

Protect the self-cleaning feature. Clean only those parts
indicated in this booklet. Do not use commercial oven
cleaners or oven liner protective coatings of any kind in or
around the self-cleaning oven.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the range,
never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.
Service should only be done by authorized technicians.
Technicians must disconnect the power supply before
servicing this unit.
Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the
oven controls are set to BROIL or BAKE modes, after oven
heats to 425°F — see "Automatic operation of the cooling
blower: " on page 26. If the fan does not operate, do not
use the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.
To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be
prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and
filters.
In case of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other
spirits on the range's cooktop, follow manufacturer's
instructions.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates
at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the
alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small
quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door
carefully.
WARNING:
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.
