Injury to persons,
or damage
when using the
range,
follow
basic
precauffons,
lncludlng
l
Read all instructions before using
the range.
0 Install or locate the range only in
accordance
with the provided
Installation Instructtons. It is recom-
mended that the range be in-
stalled by a qualified installer. The
range must be properly con-
nected to electrical
supply and
grounded.
0 Do not use the range for warm-
ing or heating the room. Persons
could be burned or injured, or
a fire could start.
l
Do not leave children alone or
unattended
in area where the
range is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
par-f of the range. They could be
burned or injured.
l
Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit or heating ele-
ment and you could be burned.
0 Do not repair or replace any
part of the range unless specifi-
cally recommended
in this man-
ual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified
technician.
l
Do not store flammable
mate-
rials in or near the range. They
could explode or burn.
0 Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on cook-
top by covering with a well-fitted
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flam-
ing grease outside of pan can
be extlnguished
with baking
soda or, if available, a multipur-
pose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist
or damp potholders on hot sur-
faces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch
hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or bulky cloth for a pot-
holder. They could catch on fire.
l
Select a pan with a flat bottom
that is about the same size as
the surface unit. If pan is smaller
than the surface unit, some of
the heating element will be
exposed and may result in the
igniting of clothing or potholders.
Correct pan size also improves
cooking efficiency.
l
Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boil-over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spill+vers
that may ignite.
l
Make sure the reflector bowls
are in place during cooking.
Cooking without reflector bowls
may subject the wiring and
components underneath them
to damage.
l
Do not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners.
Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or tire.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain types of
glass, glass ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware
or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops
without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but
not over other surface units. This
will help reduce the chance
of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l
Do not soak removable heating
elements in water. The element
