IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Cookware 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,
the handle of the cookware should be posi-
tioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over other cooking areas.
•
Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve efficiency.
•
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop
use.
•
Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop
use.
•
Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry
could be damaged and may damage the
cooktop.
•
Do not use a searing grill meant for use with a
broiler pan on the cooktop. The searing grill is
not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so
may result in a fire.
•
When you are flaming foods under a venti-
lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
•
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.

•
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
•
objects

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
•
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other materials
or devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or
any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum as recommended for baking, such
as lining cookware or as a cover placed on
food. Any other use of protective liners or
aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or a short circuit.
•
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand
to the side of the appliance when opening the
door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape
before you remove or replace food in the
oven.
•
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or
heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent.
These items can melt or ignite.
•
Placement of oven racks - Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If
rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let potholder contact hot burner or element in
oven. Use potholders and grasp the rack with
both hands to reposition. Remove all
cookware and utensils before moving the rack.
•
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat to
drain away from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum
foil; exposed fat and grease could ignite.
