IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
RADIANT COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each surface heating
area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area
before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before
removing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements — To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the cookware should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over other
cooking areas.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit
size. Using the proper cookware on the cooking area
will improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recom¬mendations for
cooktop use.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware manu-
facturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil-overs
may cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite.
A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may
damage the cooktop.
Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a broiler
pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed
for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COIL COOKTOP
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.
Carefully check the reflector pans, drip bowls, and
coils for packaging material. Remove all packaging
material before using the cooktop.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface drip bowls. Improper use of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Do not immerse or soak removable heating
elements—Heating elements should never be
immersed in water. Heating elements clean them-
selves during normal operation.
Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if
the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be
done to the cooktop.
Do not allow grease to accumulate around surface
burners and drip bowls.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or devices
to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any other part of
the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended
for baking, such as lining cookware or as a cover
placed on food. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or
fire or a short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven door,
or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of
the appliance when opening the door of a hot oven.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the
power resumes, electric surface elements may
resume operation when power is restored. Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and the oven
function.
