When the range is in use or during the Self-Cleaning cycle (on some
models), the entire cooktop area may become hot. Exercise caution and avoid
contact with hot surfaces.
Aluminum Foil
Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner to avoid
permanent damage to the oven finish. When using foil, do not cover the entire
oven rack as air circulation is necessary for the best cooking results.
Additionally, do not allow aluminum foil and meat probes to come into contact
with heating elements.

To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish, do not place food or
bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.
