IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that
could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath
each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Refer
to the range manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
SELF CLEANING OVENS

oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.

good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the
gasket.
IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORUSINGYOUR
COOKTOP
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.
• 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. Visuallycheckthatburner has lit.Thenadjust 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—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.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burnerpans,orovenbottom, exceptassuggestedinthismanual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
• 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.
