SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions are based on safety consid-
erations and must be strictly followed to eliminate the
potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
PROPER INSTALLATION - Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified techni-
cian.
STORAGE IN, ON OR NEAR APPLIANCE - Do not
store or use gasoline or other flammable materials, va-
pors and liquids in the oven, near surface units or in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not use cooktop or
oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
DO
NOT
USE
WATER
ON
GREASE
FIRES
-
Smother
fire or flame
or
use
dry
chemical
or
foam-type
extinguisher, if
available
or
sprinkle
heavily with baking soda.
NEVER
USE
YOUR
APPLIANCE
FOR
WARMING
OR HEAT-
ING THE ROOM.
STORAGE ABOVE RANGE -To eliminate the hazard
of reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage
should not be provided directly above a unit. If pro-
vided, storage should be limited to infrequently used
items that can be safely stored in an area subjected to
heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items
such as volatile liquids,cleaners, or aerosol sprays. If
cabinet storage is provided, installation of a range
hood that projects at least 5-inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinet will reduce the hazards associated with
such storage.
USE
ONLY
DRY POTHOLDERS
-
Moist
or damp
potholders
on hot surfaces
may result in burns
from
steam.
Do not let potholder
touch hot heating
ele-
ments. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloths.
SURFACE
COOKING
UNITS:
USE PROPER
PAN SIZE-This
appliance is equipped
with one or more surface
elements of different sizes.
Select
utensils having
flat bottoms large
enough
to
cover
the surface
element.
The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship
of utensil to element will also im-
prove efficiency.
NEVER LEAVE SURFACE
UNITS UNATTENDED
AT
HIGH HEAT SETTINGS -
Boilover
causes
smoking
and greasy spittovers that
may ignite.
WEAR
PROPER
APPAREL
-
Loose-fitting
or
hanging garments
never
be
worn
while
using
the appliance.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO RANGE, never operate a
surface unit without a pan in place and never allow a
pan to boil dry.
MAKE
SURE
DRIP BOWLS
ARE IN PLACE
- Ab-
sence of these bowls during cooking may subject wir-
ing or components
underneath
to damage.
USER SERVICING
- Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance
unless specifically
recommended
in
the Use and Care Book. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician. Always disconnect
unit or cut-off power to unit before any servicing.
PROTECTIVE
LINERS
- Do not use aluminum
foil to
line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms,
except as
suggested
in the Use and Care Book. Improper instal-
lation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire.
