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—Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
3. Keep Oven Vents 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

essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to

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
and other utensils.
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.
