l
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch a hot surface unit and you
could be burned.
l
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Do not heat unopened
containers.
They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
l
Use only cookware
approved for oven
use. Follow cookware
manufacturer's
instructions,
especially when using glass
or plastic cookware.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
l
Ceramic glass cooktop
model: Do
not cook on a broken cooktop.
If the
cooktop
should break, cleaning solu-
tions and spillovers could penetrate the
broken cooktop
and create a risk of
electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician
immediately.
l
Coil element cook-top models: Make sure
the reflector bowls are in place during
cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls
could subject the wiring and compo-
nents underneath
them to damage.
l
Coil element cooktop
models: Do not
line reflector bowls with aluminum foil
or other liners. Improper installation
of
these liners could result in a risk of
electric shock or 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 ex-
posed and could result in the igniting of
clothing or pot holders. Correct pan size
also improves cooking efficiency.
l
Check to be sure glass cookware
is safe
for use on the range. Only certain types
of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed cookware
are
suitable for cooktops
without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature.
l
Never leave surface units unattended
at
high heat settings. A boilover could result
and cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
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.
