User Servicing
Do not repair or replace any part of the

Storage in or on Appliance
Flammable materials should not be stored in
an oven or near surface units.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Use Proper Pan Size
This appliance is equipped with one or more
surface units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of
the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Heat Settings
Boil over causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place
Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
Protective Liners
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the manual. Improper installation
of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and
Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements
Heating elements should never be immersed
in water.
Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top
If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-
top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cook-Top With Caution
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
