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,
• 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 tempera-
ture change.

cooktop elements. They will retain
heat after the range has been turned
off.
• NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
under 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.

wiring and component damage. Do
not use aluminum liners or foil in drip
bowls. Improper use may result in risk
of electrical shock or fire
