IMPORTANT  INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  USING  YOUR

COOKTOP

 Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it

does  not  extend  beyond  the  edge  of  the  utensil.  The  use  of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to

direct  contact  and  may  result  in  ignition  of  clothing.  Proper

relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

•Know which knob controls each surface burner.

 Place a pan

of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner

off before removing the pan.

•Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top

burners.

 Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame

so it does not extend beyond the edge o the utensil.

•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Burners

—To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface burners.

•Never  Leave  Surface  Burners  Unattended  at  High  Heat

Settings

—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

•Protective  Liners

—Do  not  use  aluminum  foil  to  line  surface

burner  pans,  or  oven  bottom,  except  as  suggested  in  this

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of

electric shock, or fire.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils

—Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic,  ceramic,  earthenware,  or  other  glazed  utensils  are

suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden

change  in  temperature.  Check  the  manufacturer’s

recommendations for cooktop use.

IMPORTANT  INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  USING  YOUR

OVEN

•Use Care When Opening Oven Door

—Stand to the side of the

range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam

escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

 The oven vent is located

below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when

the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place

plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These

items could melt or ignite.

•Placement of Oven Racks.

 Always place oven racks in desired

location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is

hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with

both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot

heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

•Do not use the broiler pan without its insert.

 The broiler pan

and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from

the high heat of the broiler.

•Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

•Cold  temperatures  can  damage  the  electronic  control.  When

using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has

not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit

has been in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours

before turning on the power to the appliance

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR

RANGE

•Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that

could catch fire.

 Pay particular attention to the area underneath

each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer

to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

•Kitchen  cleaners  and  aerosols—Always  follow  the

manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.

 Be aware

that  excess  residue  from  cleaners  and  aerosols  may  ignite

causing damage and injury.

CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS

•Do Not Use Oven Cleaners on the oven liner or any of the

continuous cleaning surfaces.

 Continuous cleaning surfaces

can be identified by their rough surface finish.
