Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist of damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating 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 burner will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings
– Boil-over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
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.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking
due to sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be turned Inward and Not Extend over Adjacent Surface Units
–
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements
– Heating elements should never be
immersed in water.
Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-top
– If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cook-top With Caution
– If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Use Care When Opening Door
– Let hot air or steam escape before checking or
removing food.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers
– Build-up of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
Placement of Oven Racks
– Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
Do Not Touch Surface Units, Heating Elements, Interior Surfaces of Oven or Areas near
Units - Surface units and heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Area near surface and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units, areas near units or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns
– among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors, and window of oven doors.
