6 Safety

iMPORTANTiNSTRUCTiONSFORUSINGYOURCOOKTOP

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.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If

you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and

can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This

can be hazardous to your health.

• Knowwhich 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 the 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

of the utensil

Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of

different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface

burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit 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 Should 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--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 used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of

electric shock or fire or a short circuit.

• 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.

• Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on

the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface burner Covers. If a burner 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 or burners because the

covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause

combustion problems.

IMPORTANTiNSTRUCTiONSFORUSINGYOUROVEN

* Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer--Stand to the side of the appliance 'when

opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace

food in the oven/warmer drawer.

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven isvented at the front above the oven

door or through the rear of 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 the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.

Safety 7

, Placement of OvenFWarmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack

before removing rack. 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 oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if equipped).

* Do not use a broiler pan without its insert, The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat

to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

. Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil.

Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

- Do nottouch 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.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORCLEANINGYOURRANGE

. Cieanthe range regularlyto keepall partsfreeofgreasethatcould catchfire. Exhaust

fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to

accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's

instructions for cleaning.

- Cleaners/aerosols--Always follow the manufacturer's recommended directions for use.

Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and!

or injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

, Clean in the self=cleaning cycle onlythe parts of the oven listed in this owner's guide.

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning

cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self=clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

IMPORTANT $&FETY N@TICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential

exposure to such substances.

Pans should have flat bottoms.

Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom. There should be

no gaps between the pan and ruler.

* Specialty pans such as lobster

Formostcooking, start on the highest control setting and then turn to a lower one to complete

the process. Usethe chart below as a guide for determining proper flame size for various types

of cooking. The size and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed for cooking.

For deep fat frying, use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob accordingly. If

the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food will

brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked. Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much

food at once as the food will neither brown nor cook properly.

*Flame Size

High Flame

Medium Flame

Low Flame

Type of Cooking

Start most foods; bring water to a boil;

Maintain a stow boil; thicken sauces,

gravies; steam

Keep foods cooking; poach; stew

*These settings are based on using medium=weight

aluminum pans with lids. Settings may varywhen using

other types of pans.

Never extend the flame beyond the outer edge of the utensil.

A higher flame simply wastes heat and energy, and increases

your risk of being burned by the flame.

To Operate the Warmer Oven

The purpose of the warmer oven is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always

start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food in the warmer drawer.

All food placed in the warmer oven should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to maintain

moisture and softness. Do not cover crisp foods. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.

Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean.

Use only dishware, utensils and cookware recommended for oven use in the warmer drawer.

Arranging Warmer Oven Rack Positions

Set the warmer oven rack in the vertical position as shown below.

Upright Position

Downward Position

The rack can be used in 2 ways:

, In the upright position to allow low

profile food items to be placed both

under and on top of the rack (for

example, rolls or biscuits on top of

the rack and a casserole dish

under).

• In the downward position to allow

you to place light weight food items

and empty dishware (for example,

rolls or pastries and dinner plates).
