IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
● Do not use a thermometer in food you are
microwaving unless the thermometer is designed
or recommended for use in the microwave oven.
● Remove the temperature probe from the
oven when not using it to cook with. If you
leave the probe inside the oven without inserting

Q Hot foods and steam can cause
..-= burns. Be careful when opening any
containers of hot food, including
popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes: To
prevent possible injury, direct steam away from
hands and face.
● Spontaneous boiling—Under certain
special circumstances, liquids may
start
to boil during or shortly after removal
from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from
splashing liquid, stir the liquid briefly before
removing the container from the microwave oven.
● Use of the DOUBLE DUTY
TM
shelf accessory.
—Remove the shelf from the oven when not in use.
—Do not store or cook with the shelf on the floor
of the oven. Product damage may result.
● Plastic Cookware—Plastic cookware designed
for microwave cooking is very useful, but should
be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic
may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions
as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften
or char if subjected to short periods of
overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking,
the food and cookware could ignite. For these
reasons: 1) Use microwave-safe plastics only and
use them in strict compliance with the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations. 2)
Do not
subject empty cookware to microwaving. 3) Do
not permit children to use plastic cookware
without complete supervision.

elf-Cleaning Lower Oven:
● Stand away from the cooking center when
opening the oven door.
The hot air or steam
which escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
● Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
“ Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
● Keep the oven free from grease build-up.
● Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled
when hot, do
rw( let pot holders contact oven units.
● Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods.
It is also a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
● When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
● Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
– If overheated, they can catch on fire.
● Do not clean the 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 commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the
oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the
inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle
is used.
c Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the Self-Clean operation.
● Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Book.
● Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan and other cookware.
● If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven OFF and disconnect the power supply.
Have serviced by a qualified technician.
“ After broiling, always take the broiler pan out
of the oven and
clean it. Leftover grease in the
- broiler pan can catch on fire the next time you use
the pan.
Surface Cooking Units:
● Use proper pan size-This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different size.
Select cookware having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized cookwa,e will expose a
portion of the surfac~ unit to direct Coi.tad and
may result in ignition of clothing, Proper
relationship of cookware to the surface unit will
also
impiove efficiency.
● Be sure the drip pans and the duct are
not covered and are in place. Their absence
during cooking could damage cooking center
parts and wiring.
s Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans
or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this book. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the cooking center.
● Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
containers are suitable for cooktop service;
others may break because of the sudden change
in temperature.
● To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of
the cooktop without extending over nearby
surface units.
(continued next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
● Never leave surface units unattended at high
heat settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
c Always turn the surface units to OFF before
removing the cookware.
● Keep an eye on foods being fried at HI or .
MED HI heat settings.
● To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the OFF position and all coils
are cool before attempting to remove the unit.
● Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units.
Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not ‘
self-clean the surface units in the oven.
● Never clean the cooktop surface when it
is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and
wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on a
hot surface.
“ When flaming foods are under the hood,
turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flame.
● Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides
of the pan.
● Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
● If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
● Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats,
● Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the
smoking point.
● Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Exhaust System
● Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter.
Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven
cleaners, may damage the filter.
● Clean the vent hood often. Do not allow grease
to buildup on the hood or in the filter.
