Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
COOKTOP OVEN
Use Proper Flame Size m 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.
Know which 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 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.
Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
burners m 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
at high heat settings _ Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Glazed cooking utensils _ Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When you are flaming foods under a
ventilating hood, turn the fan on.
Before manually cleaning any
part ot the oven, be sure all controls are
turned off and the oven is cool. Cleaning a
hot oven can cause burns.
Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not
allow grease to accumulate.
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. Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning hoods.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
Clean only the parts listed in this manual.
Before using self-clean, remove the broiler
pan, any food, utensils, and bakeware
from the oven. Remove oven racks unless
otherwise instructed.
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
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.
Some birds are extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-clean
cycle of any oven. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.
Do not touch heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven. Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven become
hot enough to cause burns.
_During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have sufficient
time to cool.
Save these instructions for future reference.
