CAUTION
2
NEVER
use aluminum foil or foil containers on the cooktop.
These may become very hot. Use foil only as directed in this
guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and
may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near appliance.
Clean only parts listed in this guide and use procedures
recommended.
Cooktop
NEVER
leave surface units unattended especially when using
high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a
greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different size surface ele-
ments. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover
element. Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking
efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be
exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service
without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the
room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is
accidently bumped or reached by small children.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop
NEVER
cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a quali-
fied technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge,
cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be careful
to avoid steam burn.
Never stand on the cooktop.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or dispos-
ing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Heating Elements
NEVER
touch surface elements or areas near elements.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface elements may become hot enough
to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or areas near
elements until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop and areas
facing the cooktop.
Child Safety
Save These Instructions for Future Reference
NEVER
store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance or on the cooktop. Children climbing
on appliance to reach items could damage the appliance
or be burned or seriously injured.
NEVER
leave children alone or unsupervised in area where
appliance is in use or is still hot.
NEVER
allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in or
on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of
reach of small children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play
with controls or other parts of the unit.
Ventilating Hoods
Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or
other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or filter
and to avoid grease fires.
Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries
Jubilee) under the hood.
Important Safety Notice and
Warning
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:
Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-
cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
