IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
English 5
3) Operating the unit according to the instructions in 
this manual.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some 
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot 
surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from 
steam.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will 
not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self-
Clean. Contact service.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep 
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where 
kitchen fumes could reach them. During self clean, 
fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other 
kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines and 
cooking oils may also be harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using 
cooking or roasting bags.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning 
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the 
pan.
Use Proper Pan Size. The use of undersized cookware 
will expose a portion of the heating element or burner 
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. 
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to 
cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is 
equipped with one or more surface units of different 
size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating 
element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with glass ceramic 
cooktops may break with sudden temperature 
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for glass 
ceramic cooktops (only certain types of glass, 
heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed 
utensils are suitable). See Cookware Selection Guide 
for further details.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do 
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the 
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, 
spills and burns.
CAUTION: Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if 
in direct contact with the drawer or a hot utensil. If it 
melts onto the drawer, it may not be removable.
Food Safety
CAUTION: To maintain food safety, follow these 
guidelines:
1) DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food 
(exception: it is safe to use the drawer to crisp 
crackers, chips or dry cereal and to warm plates.
2) Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The 
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or 
warmer.
3) DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
Conversion to Liquified Petroleum Gas
The LP Gas Conversion kit should be installed by a 
qualified service technician. When installing the kit be sure 
to follow the LP Gas Conversion Installation Instructions 
carefully.
WARNING
Personal injury or death from electrical shock may 
occur if the range is not installed by a qualified 
installer or electrician.
Any additions, changes or conversions required in 
order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet the 
application needs must be made by a qualified 
technician.
