GENERAL

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

•  Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more 

surface units of different sizes. 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.

•  Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – 

Boil overs may cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

•  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.

•  Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip 

bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper 

installation of these liners may result in a 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 range-

top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

•  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.

•  Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements 

should never be immersed in water.

•  Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface unit. 

Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SELF-CLEAN OVENS

•  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.

oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or 

around any part of the oven.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any 

utensils from the oven.

•  Never keep pet birds in the kitchen – the health of birds is 

extremely sensitive to the fumes released during an oven self-

clean cycle. Fumes may be harmful or fatal to birds. Move birds 

to well-ventilated room.

•  Important Instruction – In the event the self-clean mode “F” 

code goes on, or three long beeps sound, oven is malfunctioning 

in the self-clean mode. Turn off or disconnect appliance from 

power supply and have serviced by a qualified technician.

VENTILATING HOODS:

•  Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should 

not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

OVEN

•  Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape 

before you remove or replace food in the oven

•  Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure 

may cause container to burst and result in injury.

•  Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed – the oven vent is located 

above the left rear surface unit. this area could become hot during 

oven use. Never block this vent and never place plastic or heat-

sensitive items on vent

•  Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired 

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

hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

•  Do Not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating 

elements.

GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES

•  Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If cook-top should break, 

cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-

top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified 

technician immediately.

•  Clean Cook-Top With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used 

to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam 

burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a 

hot surface.
