Cookware not approved for use with ceramic
cooktops may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for
ceramic cooktops. See
Cookware Selection Guide
.
▯
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 hot utensil. If it melts on to the
drawer, it may not be removable.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct
contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use
only heat-resistant cookware.
WARNING
DANGER OF INJURY
Cookware may spring or bounce upward due to fluid
trapped between the cookware bottom and cooking
zone. Always keep cooking zone and cookware bottom
dry.
Proposition 65 Warning:
Note:
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substance
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of
carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean
ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1.
Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2.
Providing good ventilation during and immediately
after self-cleaning the oven.
3.
Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.
Food Safety

To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines:
a.
DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food. It is
safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry
cereal and to warm plates.
b.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or
warmer.
c.
DO NOT warm food for longer than one hour.
