Important Safety Instructions
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Do not heat unopened food containers--Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for
rangetop use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if
the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the cooktop.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn
the ovens off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Clean cooktop glass 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 harmful fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
YOUR COOKTOP IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit.
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. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units--To reduce the
risk of burns, ignitionof 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 units.
Never leave surface units 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
oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
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 ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its
own vent located on the top, near each side and towards
the back of the cooktop. 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 an oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are 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 ovens. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The
broiler pan and itsgrid allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth.
Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
