SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, ALWAYS
allow heated beverages to stand at least 20 seconds
after you have turned the burner off so that the
temperature in the liquid can stabilize. In the event of
scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
- Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least
10 minutes
- Cover with clean, dry dressing
- Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions
• After turning on a surface burner, check to make sure
that the burner has ignited. Adjust the level of the
flame by turning the burner knob.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the
burner knob quickly. Watch the flame to make sure it
stays on.
Steam and Vapors
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or placing food in a hot oven.
Use only dry pot holders. Putting moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Surface Burner Warnings
• The burner spreader can be blocked by food or dust.
Clean the spreader if it appears blocked. If you clean
the spreader with water, assemble it only after it is
completely dry. If the spreader is wet, it might prevent
the burners from igniting.
• Do not pour water on the cooktop for cleaning. It can
get inside the range and cause the parts inside to rust.
• Only ignite the cooktop burners with the burner caps
in place. If the burner caps are not in place, you can
damage the controls or cause an unintended large or
dangerous flame.
