Do not repair or replace any part of
the range unless specifically recom-
mended in literature accompanying
this appliance. All service should be
referred to a qualified technician.
Do not obstruct the flow of air. Your
kitchen must have an adequate
supply of fresh air to ensure proper
combustion and ventilation.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any
part of the range.
Never use the range to warm or
heat the room.
Do not block or obstruct the holes
in the range surface below the
control knobs. Blocking these holes
may affect burner operation and
may result in a hazard.
When using the range, do not touch
the grates, burner caps, burner
bases or any other parts in proximity
to the flame. These components
may be hot enough to cause burns.
If the range is near a window, do
not use long curtains as a window
treatment, as they could blow over
the range and create a fire hazard.
Do not clean the oven gasket,
because rubbing or moving the
gasket may compromise the door
seal.

Always check the positions of the
control knobs to make certain the
range is off when you are finished
cooking.
Always light each burner prior to
placing a pan on the burner grate.
Also, turn the control knob to the
OFF position before removing a pan
from the burner grate.
Keep any ventilation filters clean to
avoid grease fires.
Always set pans gently onto the
grates and center them so that they
are well balanced.
Start the ventilation hood approxi-
mately five minutes before cooking.
This establishes an air curtain and
improves the capture of vapor and
moisture.
Use oven only for cooking tasks
expected of a home oven as outlined
in this manual.
Always properly clean and maintain
the oven as recommended in this
book.
Exercise caution when opening the
oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before looking or reaching
into the oven.
Position oven racks in desired loca-
tions when oven is cool. If a rack
must be repositioned after the oven
is already hot, be certain pot holder
does not contact a hot heating
element in the oven.
Clean only those parts listed in this
book.
