IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

•

Use care when opening oven door, lower oven

door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand

to the side of the appliance when opening the

door of a hot range. Let hot air or steam

escape before you remove or replace food in

the oven.

•

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching

surfaces in this area when the oven is on may

cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or

heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.

These items can 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 in hot, do not

let potholder contact hot heating element in

oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with

both hands to reposition. Remove all

cookware and utensils before moving the rack.

•

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.

Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to

drain away from the high heat of the broiler.

Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum

foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.

•

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to

line oven bottom or any other part of the appli-

ance. Only use aluminum 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 a short circuit.

•

Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always

cook in proper cookware and always use the

oven racks.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR OVEN

•

Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free

of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular

attention to the area around each surface

element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for

cleaning hoods.

•

Always follow the manufacturer’s recom-

mended directions for use of kitchen cleaners

and aerosols. Be aware that excess residue

from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing

damage and injury.

•

Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on the

hood or filter.

•

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp

cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break.

Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power

to the appliance before removing and

replacing the bulb.

FOR GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

•

Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If

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 if applied to a hot surface.

•

Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp

objects.

Before manually cleaning any part of the appli-

ance, be sure all controls are turned off and the

range is cool. Cleaning a hot oven can cause

burns.
