IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not leave children alone
or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is
still hot. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as
they could be injured or burned.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard
of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
•
Never let a child hang on the oven door.
•
Do not allow children to crawl into the oven.
•
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.
•
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING
•
The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Do not touch heating
elements inside the oven. Young children must be continuously supervised if allowed
near the appliance.
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Do not allow children to play with the appliance. Any cleaning
and user maintenance performed by children must be supervised.
GLASS-CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
•
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE
UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. This includes
the cooktop and the area above the oven door.
•
Do not cook on a broken cooktop.
If the cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Switch off
the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock and contact a qualified technician
immediately.
•
Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
•
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
•
Choose proper burner size.
For smaller pots and pans, use the smaller heating
elements. For larger pots and pans, use the larger heating elements. Select pans that
have flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements. Using undersized pans
exposes a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in clothing
burning.
•
Glazed cookware.
Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
•
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
•
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware. Do not rely on the pan
sensor.
