IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
USING
YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which
knob controls
each surface heating
unit.
Place
a pan of food on the unit before turning
it on, and turn the unit
off before removing the pan.
• 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 element
will also
improve efficiency.
• Utensil
Handles
Should
Be Turned
Inward
and Not Extend
Over Adjacent
Surface
Units--To
reduce the risk of bums,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should
be
positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
• Never Leave Surface U nits Unattended
at High Heat Settings--
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do Not Immerse
or Soak Removable
Heating
Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
Heating
elements clean themselves during
normal operation.
• 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, reflector pans, or oven bottom, or any other part of
the range.
Only use aluminum
foil as recommended
in this
manual.
Improper
installation
of these liners may result in 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 cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden
change
in temperature.
Check
the
manufacturer's
recommendations
for cooktop
use.
• When flaming
foods under
a ventilating
hood, turn the fan
on,

Oven Door or Warmer
Drawer--
Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace
food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
The oven vent is located
under the left rear surface element. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the oven isoperating
may cause severe burns. Also,
do not place plastic or heat-sensitive
items on or near the oven
vent.
These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement

location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is

contact the hot
heating elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler
pan without
its insert.
The broiler pan
and its insert allow dripping
fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler
insert with aluminum
foil.
Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Cold temperatures
can damage the electronic
control.
When
using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has
not been used foran extended period of time, be certain the unit
has been in temperatures
above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning
on the power to the appliance
