IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
l
Read all instructions
before using
the range.
l
Install or locate
the range only in
accordance
with the provided
Installation
Instructions.
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.
l
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
,
part of the range. They could
be
burned
or injured.

ele-
ment and you could
be burned.

l
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.
l
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 extinguished
with baking
sodaor,
if available,
a multipur-
pose dry chemical
or foam-type
1
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-overs
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 elec-
tric shock or fire.
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 sud-
den 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
