IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Spills of hot food may cause burns.

▶
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS. 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, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns.
▶ During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact heat-
ing elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appli-
ance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among
these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near
these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) slowly
▶
and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
▶ Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure
there are no children or pets near the unit.
▶ After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
your cooking.
▶ Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or clean-
ing purposes.
▶ Do not leave open doors unattended.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool.
▶ Clean around the burner and burner ports.
▶ After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Inspect your cookware for damage or excessive wear be-
fore using it.
CAUTION
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evapo-
rates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as
the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
▶ Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open
the oven door carefully.

The oven racks and the oven cavity surfaces become very
hot during cooking.
▶ Place oven racks in the desired positions before turning
oven on.
▶ Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm.

oven mitts contact hot heating elements.
▶ Use caution when removing oven racks from the lowest
rack position to avoid contact with the hot oven door.
