Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped
and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or
loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small
pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily
tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may
also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and
avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that
is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend
handles over adjacent surface burners. Al-
ways turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by
small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and
the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven cook-
ing bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using con-
ventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use
eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on
oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories
that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner
grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns
if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if ap-
plied to a hot surface.
Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential ex-
posures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning
of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due
primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these sub-
stances can also be minimized by properly venting the
burners to the outdoors.
