IMpORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING yOUR GAS COOKTOp
CAUTION
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 burn-
er flame to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to flame will also improve effi-
ciency.
Know which knob or key controls each sur-
face heating area. Place cookware with food
on the cooking area before turning it on.
Turn the cooking area off before removing
the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that match the surface unit heat-
ing element. The use of undersized cook-
ware may expose a portion of the flame to
direct contact and may result in the ignition
of clothing or other items. Using the proper
cookware on the cooking areas will improve
efficiency.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check
that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so
it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil.
IMpORTANT SAFETy INFORMATION
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 — Boil overs cause smok-
ing and greasy spill overs that may ignite,
or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only cer-
tain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed uten-
sils are suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in tem-
perature. Check the manufacturer's recom-
mendations for cook top use.
When you are flaming foods under a venti-
lating hood, turn the fan on.
IMpORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING yOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the appli-
ance. Only use aluminum as recommended
for baking, such as lining cookware or as a
cover placed on food. Any other use of pro-
tective liners or aluminum foil may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short
circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touch-
ing surfaces in this area when the oven is
on may cause severe burns. Do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near
the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.
