SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Information in the Safety Instruction section covers
all electric cooking appliances.
You may find some
information that does not pertain to your particu-
lar appliance
. Please review this section before us-
ing your cooking appliance.
The following instructions are based on safety consid-
erations and must be strictly followed to eliminate the
potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
PROPER INSTALLATION
- Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
NEVER USE YOUR
APPLIANCE
FOR
WARMING OR HEAT-
ING THE ROOM.
STORAGE ABOVE RANGE
- To eliminate the hazard
of reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage
should not be provided directly above a unit. If pro-
vided, storage should be limited to infrequently used
items that can be safely stored in an area subjected to
heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items
such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or aerosol sprays. If
cabinet storage is provided, installation of a range
hood that projects at least 5-inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinet will reduce the hazards associated with
such storage.
WEAR PROPER
APPAREL
-
Loose-fitting
or
hanging garments
should never be
worn while using
the appliance.
USER SERVICING
- Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the Use and Care Book. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician. Always disconnect
unit or cut-off power to unit before any servicing.
STORAGE IN, ON OR NEAR APPLIANCE
- Do not
store or use gasoline or other flammable materials, va-
pors and liquids in the oven, near surface units or in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not use cooktop or
oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
DO NOT USE WATER
ON GREASE FIRES
-
Smother fire or flame or
use dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher, if avail-
able or sprinkle heavily
with baking soda.
USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS
- Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating ele-
ments. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloths.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS:
USE PROPER PAN SIZE
- This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface elements of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also im-
prove efficiency.
NEVER LEAVE SURFACE
UNITS UNATTENDED AT
HIGH HEAT SETTINGS
-
Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO RANGE
, never operate a
surface unit without a pan in place and never allow a
pan to boil dry.
MAKE SURE DRIP BOWLS ARE IN PLACE
- Ab-
sence of these bowls during cooking may subject wir-
ing or components underneath to damage.
PROTECTIVE LINERS
- Do not use aluminum foil to
line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as
suggested in the Use and Care Book. Improper instal-
lation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire.
