Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An un-
attended boilover could cause smoking
and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with
flat bottoms large enough to cover
element. Fitting pan size to element will
improve cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion
of the element will be exposed to direct
contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ce-
ramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
or oven service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature. Fol-
low utensil manufacturer's instructions
when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cook-
top, not out into the room or over anoth-
er surface element. This reduces the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable ma-
terials, or spillage if pan is accidently
bumped or reached by small children.
Coil Elements
(select models)
To prevent damage to removable heat-
ing elements, do not immerse, soak or
clean in a dishwasher or self-clean oven.
A damaged element could short result-
ing in a fire or shock hazard.
Make sure drip bowls are in place as ab-
sence of these bowls during cooking
could damage wiring.
Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or
oven bottoms, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of elec-
tric shock or fire.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
(select models)
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cook-
top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician im-
mediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some clean-
ers can produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or
paper towel is used on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Al-
low grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Oven
Use care when opening door. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or re-
placing food.
For proper oven operation and perfor-
mance, do not block or obstruct oven vent
duct. When in use, the vent and sur-
rounding area may become hot enough
to cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired loca-
tions while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot element in oven.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do
not clean door gasket. The gasket is es-
sential for a good seal. Do not rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective coat-
ing of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils
to prevent excessive smoking, discolora-
tion of the oven racks or possible damage
to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially
greasy spills, before the clean cycle to pre-
vent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot
during a clean cycle. Therefore, avoid
touching the cooktop, door, window or
oven vent during a clean cycle.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface or oven heating
elements, areas near elements, or inte-
rior surfaces of oven.
Heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface
elements and interior surfaces of an oven
may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable materials con-
tact heating elements, areas near ele-
ments, or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include:
Cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, and surfaces near the vent opening,
oven door(s), areas around the door(s) and
oven window(s).
