Important Safety Information

ALL APPLIANCES

1. Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the
Room.
3. Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be
alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Appropriate Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using appliance.
5. User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
6. Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or
flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
3. Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
4. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
drip bowls or oven bottom. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock or
fire.
5. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Do not use glass,
ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils. They
can damage smoothtop and can break due to sudden
change in temperature.
6. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units—To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it
is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
7. Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements—Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.

OVENS

1. Use Care When Opening Door—Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
2. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
3. Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
4. Placement of Oven Racks—Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven is cool. If rack is
removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

1. 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.
2. 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 liner.
3. Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
4. Before Self-Cleaning the Oven—Remove broiler pan,
oven racks, and other utensils.
5. Remove all items from range top and backguard.

GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES

1. Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
2. Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

VENTILATION HOODS

1. Clean Ventilation Hoods Frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2. When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The fan,
if operating, may spread the flame.
