IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Cont.)
■ Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements
or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces
may be hot enough to burn even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or
any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time
for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance
may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the
cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the
opening and crevices around the oven door.
■ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
WARNING
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
■ Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot
holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if

WARNING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■ If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother
the fire by closing the oven door and turning the
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Never leave the surface units unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid

■ Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook
tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass
breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken
glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
■ Cook food thoroughly to help protect against
foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov
and fsis.usda.gov. Use a food thermometer to take
food temperatures and check several locations.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, or hang on the
oven door, drawer, or cooktop. They could damage

foam-type fire extinguisher.
■ If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not
force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-

from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in severe burns.
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
■ U se proper pan size—select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating element. The use of undersized cookware
will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
