In WARNING 1IN THEEVENTOF A FIRE,TAKETHEFOLLOWING STEPS
TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING:
, Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming
pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a
surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
, If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
, If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven
off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door
og.p__. Introduction of flesh air at self-clean temperatures
may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
iA WARNING j COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite, resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Only certain types of glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop
service; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
To minimize the possibilityof burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage,the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back ON as soon
as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure
to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may
result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop leading
to serious injury or death.

of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off.

should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If
the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite.
Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off
4 may cause them to ignite also.

CERANABRYTE ® Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light
goes out before cleaning.A wet sponge or cloth on a
hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE:Sugar spillsare an exception.
