Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that
is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend
handles over adjacent surface burners. Al-
ways turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by
small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and
the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using oven cook-
ing bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using con-
ventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use
eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on
oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories
that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before
touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or
surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns
if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if ap-
plied to a hot surface.
Self-Clean Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
Do not clean door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket. Do not use
oven cleaners of any kind in or around
any part of the self-clean oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven
racks and other utensils and wipe up excessive spillovers
to prevent excessive smoke or flare-ups. CAUTION: Do
not leave food or cooking utensils, etc. in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the cooktop
during a clean cycle should be avoided.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential ex-
posures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning
of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due
primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these sub-
stances can also be minimized by properly venting the
burners to the outdoors.
