mNote to You

_nkyou for buying a KITCHENAID* appliance!

KitchenAid designs the best tools for the most important room in your house. To ensure

that you enjoy many years of trouble-free operation, we developed this Use and Care

Guide. It contains valuable information concerning how to operate and maintain your

new appliance properly and safely. Please read it carefully.

Also, please complete and mail the enclosed Product Registration Card.

If you need assistance or service, first see the "Troubleshooting" section of this book.

After checking "Troubleshooting," additional help can be found by checking the

"Requesting Assistance or Service" section.

When calling, you will need to know your appliance's complete model number and

serial number. You can find this information on the model and serial number plate

(see diagrams on pages 7 or 8).

Keep this book and the sales slip together in a safe place for future reference. You

must provide proof of purchase or Installation date for in-warranty service.

IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety symbols and

statements. Please pay special attention to

these symbols and follow any instructions

given. Here is a brief explanation of the use

of the symbol.

General

This symbol alerts you to

hazards such as fire,

electrical shock, or

other injuries.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injury to persons, or damage

when using the range, follow basic

precautions, including the following:

• Read all instructions before using

the range.

• Install or locate the range only

in accordance with the provided

Installation Instructions. The

range must be installed by a

qualified installer. The range must

be properly connected to electri-

cal supply and grounded.

•WARNING: To reduce the risk

of tipping the appliance, the

appliance must be secured by a

properly installed anti-tip bracket.

To check if the bracket is installed

properly, see "The anti-tip bracket"

on page 10.

• CAUTION: Do not siore things

children might want above the

range. Children could be burned

or injured while climbing on it.

• Do not leave children alone or

unattended in area where the

range is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand

on any part of the range. They

could be burned or injured.

•Do not use the range for warming

or heating the room. Persons could

be burned or injured, or a fire could

start.

• Use the range only for its intended

use as described in this manual.

• Do not touch surface units, areas

near units, heating elements, or

interior surfaces of oven. Surface

units and heating elements may

be hot even though they are dark

in color. Areas near surface units

and interior surfaces of an oven be-

come hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch,

or let clothing or other flammable

materials contact surface units,

areas near units, heating elements,

or interior surfaces of oven until

they have had sufficient time to

cool. Other surfaces of the range,

such as the oven vent opening, the

surface near the vent opening, the

cooktop, and the oven door and

window, could also become hot

enough to cause burns.

nge Safety

*Do not operate the range if it is

damaged or not working properly.

oDo not wear loose or hanging

garments when using the range.

They could ignite if they touch a

hot surface unit and you could

be burned.

*Use only dry pot holders. Moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces

could result in burns from steam.

Do not let pot holder touch hot

heating elements. Do not use a

towel or bulky cloth for a pot

holder. It could catch on fire.

*Keep range vents unobstructed.

*Do not heat unopened containers.

They could explode. The hot

contents could cause burns and

container particles could cause

injury.

.Use only cookware approved for

oven use. Follow cookware manu-

facturer's instructions, especially

when using glass or plastic

cookware.

.Do not store flammable materials

on or near the range. The fumes

could create an explosion and/or

fire hazard.

*Do not repair or replace any part

of the range unless specifically

recommended in this manual. All

other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

oDisconnect the electrical supply

before servicing the range.

When using the cooktop

.Do not cook on a broken ceramic

glass cooktop. If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers could penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a risk

of electrical shock. Contact a

qualified technician immediately.

*Select a pan with a flat bottom

that is about the same size as the

surface unit. If pan is smaller than

the surface unit, some of the

heating element will be exposed

and could result in the igniting of

clothing or pot holders. Correct

pan size also improves cooking

efficiency.

*Check to be sure glass cookware

is safe for use on the range. Only

certain types of glass, glass-

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,

or other glazed cookware are

suitable for cooktops without

breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature.

*Never leave surface units un-

attended at high heat settings.

A boilover could result and cause

smoking and greasy spillovers

that could ignite.

oTurn pan handles inward, but not

over other surface units. This will

help reduce the chance of burns,

igniting of flammable materials,

and spills due to bumping of

the pan.

continued on next page

_ange Safety

*Grease is flammable. Do not

allow grease to collect around

cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-

overs immediately.

*Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Smother flaming pan on range

by covering with a well-fitting lid,

cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming

grease outside of pan can be

extinguished with baking soda

or, if available, a multipurpose

dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

*Clean ceramic glass cooktop

with care. Some cleaners could

produce noxious fumes if applied

to a hot surface. If a wet paper

towel is used to wipe spills on a

hot cooking area, be careful to

avoid steam burns.

When using the oven

•Always position oven rack(s) in

desired location while oven is

cool. If a rack must be removed

while oven is hot, do not let pot

holder contact hot heating ele-

ments in oven.

• Use care when opening oven door.

Let hot air or steam escape before

removing or replacing food.

*Small amounts of formaldehyde

and carbon monoxide are given

off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from

fiberglass insulation and food

decomposition. Significant expo-

sure to these substances could

cause cancer or reproductive

harm. Exposure can be minimized

by venting with a hood or open

window and wiping out excess

food spills prior to self-cleaning.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No

commercial oven cleaner or oven

liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any

part of the oven.

*Before self-cleaning the oven,

remove broiler pan, broiler grid,

oven racks, and other cookware.

Do not use your oven to clean

miscellaneous parts unless you

are instructed to do so in this Use

and Care Guide.

• Do not clean door gasket. It is

essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, dam-

age, or move the gasket. Clean

only parts recommended in this

Use and Care Guide.
