o DO NOT touch cooktop 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 elements 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.
o ONLY SOME kinds of 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.
• ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop zones. They wilt retain heat
after the range has been turned off.
• HEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
behind the right rear element.
• 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 HEVER LEAVE surface units
unattended at high settings. Boilovers
result in smoking or greasy spills
which could catch fire.
HEVER cook on a broken cooktop;
cleaning solutions and spillage could
penetrate it and create the risk of
electrical shock or fire,
o ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other surface
units to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact, and
spillage.
° WHEN PREPARING flaming foods
under the vent hood, turn the fan on.
o PLACE OVEH 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.
• AFTER BROBUHG, always take
the broiler pan and grid out of the
oven and clean them, Leftover
grease in the broiler pan could catch
fire the next time you use your oven.
• ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods,
• NEVER USE aluminum foi! to line the
oven bottom, improper use of foil could
start a fire, or electrical shock could
result.
