ENGLISH
• User Servicing - Do not repair or
replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in the manual.
All other servicing should be referred to
a qualified technician.
• Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable
materials should not be stored in an
oven or near surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires
- Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
WARNING
• Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different size. 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 over causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that 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.
WARNING
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top -
If cook-top should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the 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 used to wipe spills
on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
WARNING
• Do not place metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the
cooktop surface since they can get hot.
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children
in cabinets above a range or on the back
of a range - children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
