SURFACE COOKING UNITS
• Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. 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.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings
– Boil overs may cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.
• 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.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit
drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock, or fire.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements
should never be immersed in water.
• Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface unit.

located above the left rear surface unit. this area could
become hot during oven use. Never block this vent and never
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on vent
• Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cook-Top With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is
