IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
elements m To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERAMIC-GLASS
COOl(TOP MODELS
Do not cook on broken cook top m If
cook top should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cook top and create a risk of electric
shack. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Never leave surface elements unattended
at high heat settings _ Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
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 a
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Glazed cooking utensils _ Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
When flaming foods under a ventilating
hood, turn the fan on.
Improper cookware may break due to
sudden changes in temperature. Check
the cookware manufacturer's recommen-
dations for cooktop use.
Do not use decorative surface burner
covers. If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative over will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the
cooktop.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR
RANGE
Before manually cleaning any
part of the range, be sure all controls are
turned off and the range is cool. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.
° Clean the range regularly to keep all
parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Pay particular attention to the area
around each surface element. Do not
allow grease to accumulate.
• Always follow the manufacturer's recom-
mended directions for use of kitchen
cleaners and aerosols. Be aware that
excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to accumu-
late on the hood or filter. Follow the
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning
hoods.
