Range Safety
• Do not wear
loose or hanging
garments
when
using the
range.
They could
ignite
if they
touch
a hot surface
unit and
you could
be burned.
• Use only dry potholders.
Moist
or 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 bulky
cloth
for a potholder.
It could
catch
on fire.
• Keep
range
vents
unobstructed.
• Do not heat
unopened
containers.
They could
explode.
The hot contents
could
cause
burns and
container
particles
could
cause
injury.
• Do not store flammable
materials
on or near the range.
The fumes
can create
an
explosion
and/or
fire hazard.
• Do not repair
or replace
any
part of the range
unless
specifically
recommended
in
this manual.
All other
servicing
should
be referred
to a
qualified
technician.
• DisConnect
the electrical
supply
before
servicing
the
range.
When usinGlthe cooktop
• Do not cook
on a broken
glass
ceramic
cooktop.
If cooktop
should
break,
cleaning
solutions
and spillovers
may
penetrate
the broken
cooktop
and create
a risk of electrical
shock.
Contact
a qualified
technician
immediately.
• Select
a pan with a fiat bottom
that is about
the same
size as
the surface
unit. If pan is
smaller
than
the surface
unit,
some
of the heating
element
will be exp..osed
and may
result
in the ignffing
of clothing
or
potholders.
Correct
pan size
also improves
cooking
efficiency.
• Check
to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range.
Only certain
types
of
glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic,
earthenware
or other
glazed
utensils are suitable
for
cooktops
without
breaking
due
to the sudden
change
in
temperature.
• Never
leave
surface
units
unattended
at high heat
settings.
A boilover
could
result
and cause
smoking
and
greasy
spillovers
that
may
ignite.
• Turn pan handles inward, but
not over other surface units.
This will help reduce the
chance
of burns, igniting of
flammable
materials, and spills
due to bumping
of the pan.
