Room.

alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Protective Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using appliance.

should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or
flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating 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 burner will also
improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
3. Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place- Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
4. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
drip bowls or oven bottoms. Improper installation of
these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or
fire.
5. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range top service without breaking due
to sudden change in temperature.
