Important Safety Instructions
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
elements. 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,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer’s
instructions when using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware.
Do not
use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
guide.
Do not
use element covers, stove top grills or
add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or
accessories that are not expressly recommended in this
guide can create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life of the
components of this appliance.
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
qualified 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.
If appliance is installed near a window, precautions should
be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over surface
elements.
NEVER
use appliance to warm or heat the room. Failure to
follow this instruction can lead to possible burns, injury, fire,
or damage to the appliance.
NEVER
wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance. Clothing could catch utensil handles or ignite
and cause burns if garment comes in contact with hot
heating elements.
To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the
appliance or possible injury,
do not
adjust, service, repair
or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in this guide. Refer all other servicing to a
qualified technician.
NEVER
store or use gasoline or other combustible or
flammable materials in the ovens, near surface units or in the
vicinity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire hazard
or an explosion.
To prevent grease fires,
do not
let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in a steam burn.
Do not
let potholders
touch hot heating elements.
Do not
use a towel or other
bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heating elements
and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
NEVER
heat unopened containers on the surface unit or in
the ovens. Pressure build-up in the container may cause
container to burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to the
appliance.
NEVER
use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or cover oven
racks or oven bottoms. This could result in risk of electric
shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. 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.
