5Important Safety Instructions• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broilerpan, grid and other cookware.• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage beforestarting the self-clean cycle.• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turnthe oven off and disconnect the power supply.Have it serviced by a qualified technician.Surface Cooking Units• Use proper pan size—Selectcookware having flat bottoms largeenough to cover the surface unitheating element. The use of undersized cookwarewill expose a portion of the surface unit to directcontact and may result in ignition of clothing.Proper relationship of cookware to surface unitwill also improve efficiency.• Never leave the surface units unattended athigh heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking andgreasy spillovers that may catch on fire.• Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are notcovered and are in place. Their absence duringcooking could damage range parts and wiring.• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pansor anywhere in the oven except as described inthis guide. Misuse could result in a shock, firehazard or damage to the range.• Only certain types of glass, glass⁄ceramic,earthenware or other glazed containers aresuitable for cooktop service; others may breakbecause of the sudden change in temperature.• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignitionof flammable materials and spillage, the handleof a container should be turned toward the centerof the range without extending over the nearbysurface units.• Always turn the surface units off beforeremoving cookware.• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electricshock, always be certain that the controls for allsurface units are at the off position and all coilsare cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.• Do not immerse or soak the removable surfaceunits. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do notself-clean the surface units in the oven.• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wetsponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on ahot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.• When flaming foods are under the hood,turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spreadthe flame.• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high ormedium high heat settings.• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foodscan cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sidesof the pan.• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fatfrying. Filling the pan too full of fat can causespillovers when food is added.• If a combination of oils or fats will be usedin frying, stir together before heating, or as fatsmelt slowly.• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.• Use a deep fat thermometer wheneverpossible to prevent overheating fat beyondthe smoking point.SAVE THESEINSTRUCTIONS
