,, DO NOT touch heating zones,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces. These may be hot enough
to cause burns even though they
are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch or let clothing or
flammable material contact the
zones or hot surfaces until they
have had time to cool. Other
surfaces near the oven vent
openings, oven door and window,
and cooktop surfaces may also
be hot enough to cause burns.
,, ONLY SOl'dE kinds of (heat proof)
glass or ceramic cookware can be
used for cooktop cooking. Make
sure the cookware you choose to
use is designed for cooktop
cooking without breaking due to
the sudden temperature change.
o ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop elements. They will retain
heat after the range has been
turned off.
,, NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
on the backguard of the range.
,, COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the
bottom and large enough to cover
the heating area being used.
Undersized utensils expose the
heating element and may result in
direct contact or ignition of clothing.
o NEVER LEAVE surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boi!overs result in smoking or
greasy spills which could catch fire.
@
NEVER cook on a broken cooktop;
cleaning solutions and spillage
could penetrate it and create the
risk of electrical shock or fire.
ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other
surface units to reduce the risk of
burns, ignition, unintended contact,
and spillage.
PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool. If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element.

the broiler pan and grid out of the
oven and clean them. Leftover

catch fire the next time you use
your oven.
o ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door, Let hot air and
steam escape before moving
foods.
NEVER USE aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom, Improper use
of foil could result in the risk of
