IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS,
Continued
• Do not place hands
between
the spring
tension
hinge
and the oven door frame
when
you are removing
the oven door. You could
pinch your fingers.
• Do not use the broiler
pan
without
its insert.
The broiler
pan and its insert
allow
dripping
fat or grease to drain find be kept away fl'om the high heat of the broiler.
Do not
cover the insert
with foil. Exposed
fat or grease
could
ignite.
• Do not touch
a hot oven light bulb
with
a damp
cloth.
A hot oven light bulb could
break it touched
with a damp cloth. Disconnect
the electrical
service cord or shut offthe
power to the oven before removing
and replacing
the bulb.
• Allow parts
to cool to room temperature
before touching or remm4ng them from the range.
When a surfiice burner is first turned off, the burner find grate are hot enough to cause burns.
• Clean
the range
regularly
to keep all parts free of fat or grease
which
could catch
fire.
Pay particular
attention
to the area underneath
each surface
burner.
Exhaust
fan
ventilating
hoods
and grease
filters
should
be clean.
Do not allow
flit or grease
to
accumulate.
Greasy
deposits
in the
fan
could
catch
fire.
Refer
to
the
hood
manufacturer's
instructions
for cleaning.
• Do not use a "cyclonic" range hood with this product. Some range hoods circulate air
by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back up into the hood.
This creates a "cyclonic" air wash that is designed for electric ranges only. A "cyclonic"
hood may cause the burners of a gas range to operate improperly.
• 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 place plastic
salt and pepper
shakers,
spoon
holders
or plastic
wrappings
on
top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels or wooden
spoons
could catch fire if place too close to the flame.
• Do not use a wok equipped
with
a metal
ring
that
extends
beyond
the burner.
Because
this ring traps heat, the burner
and grate could be damaged.
Also, the burner may
not work properly,
creating
a carbon
monoxide
level above current health standards.
• 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.
• Flexible
Connectors:
If the gas range/oven
is connected
to a gas supply
with a metal
flexible
connector,
move
the range/oven
with
CAUTION
for service
or cleaning.
Flexible
connectors
are not intended
for repeated
bending.
Do not allow cleaners
to
make contact
with flexible
connectors.
The connector
and its fittings
are designed
for use only on the original
installation
and are not to be reused
for another
appliance
or at another
location.
Connectors
must comply
with ANSI Z21.24.
