SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
(CONTINUED)
ALWAYS have an appropriate dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby. Smother fire or flames using
the lid of the utensil (pot or pan), a cookie sheet or metal tray. Then shut off the burner. Use an
extinguisher, or baking soda if the fire is small and relatively contained. DO NOT USE WATER ON A
EN
GREASE FIRE. Doing so may result in spreading the fire elsewhere.
NEVER pick up a flaming pan. You may spill the grease on yourself and be severely burned.
If accessible, turn off the ventilation hood during a fire, but do not reach through the flames to do
this.
In the event of personal clothing or hair catching fire, drop and roll immediately to smother the
flames. Seek medical attention if necessary.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven door. Some
fabrics are highly flammable and could ignite.
IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT - EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
SAFETY DURING CLEANING
Only clean the appliance as directed in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the oven or any part of the range. Steam could penetrate into
electrical components and cause a short circuit and/or shock hazard.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard objects such as brushes or scrapers, or sharp metal tools to clean
the door glass. Scratches could cause the glass to shatter.
Do not rub, disturb or damage the cloth-braided door gasket. If the gasket is damaged, it will need to
be replaced.
Do not pour cold water onto hot surfaces inside the oven. The steam could cause serious burns. The
sudden temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces inside the oven resulting in cracks in
the enamel.
Use only a small toothbrush to clean the burner ports and igniter of the surface burners. Do not
insert sharp objects or scratch the burner ports.
Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these
cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat.

PROPER USAGE

Do not let food sit in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so may result
in food poisoning or illness.
Do not heat unopened containers (cans or jars) in the oven. Pressure may build up causing the
container to explode, resulting in damage to the oven or personal injury.
Always place the oven racks at the desired height before cooking. If the racks must be moved when
hot, use potholders to move them and use caution to avoid touching any heating elements.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for use on the surface burners. However, these types of materials may break with
sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings, and according to their
manufacturers' directions.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface burners.
Large griddle plates that span across 2 burners should be used with care and on medium to low flame
settings to avoid a build-up of heat which could distort the grates or the burner bowl.
Always position the handles of pot and pans so they do not extend over adjacent work areas or over
the edge of the rangetop. This is to avoid knocking over hot contents which could burn you, or
result in a fire.
Do not use pots or pans on the griddle (if equipped).
