they could be injured or burned.
-----if_,CAUTION
o not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard
a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Never let a child hang on the oven door.
Do not allow children to crawl into the oven.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.
Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
GLASS-CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE
UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. This includes
the cooktop and the area above the oven door.
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it
is not being used.
Choose proper burner size. For smaller pots and pans, use the smaller heating
elements. For larger pots and pans, use the larger heating elements. Select pans that
have flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements. Using undersized pans
exposes a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in clothing
burning.
Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
Turn cookware handles inward so they don't extend over adjacent surface units.
This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the cookware.
Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
Some cleaners can produce dangerous fumes if applied to a hot surface.
