IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
elements. To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with
the utensil, position the utensil handle
inward to keep from extending it over
adjacent surface units.
Never leave surface elements unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERAMIC GLASS
COOl(TOPS
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the
cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and
spills may penetrate the cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Glazed cooking utensils m Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
Improper cookware may break due to
sudden changes in temperature. Check
the cookware manufacturer's recommen-
dations for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative surface burner
covers. If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Before manually cleaning any
part of the range, be sure all controls are
turned off and the range is cool. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
Clean the range regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Pay particular attention to the area
around each surface element. Do not
allow grease to accumulate, on the hood
or filter.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that
excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to accumu-
late on the hood or filter. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning
hoods.
Save these instructions for future reference.
