Kenmore 970C6702 series User Manual page 8

• 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.
• Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper bakeware and
always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface
heating unit. Place a pan of food on the
surface element unit before turning it on,
and turn the element off before removing
the pan.
• Improper cookware may break due to
sudden changes in temperature. Check
the cookware manufacturer's recommen-
dations for cooktop use.
• Use proper pan size — This appliance is
equipped with induction cooking zones of
different sizes. Select utensils specifically
manufactured and approved for induction
cooking that have flat bottoms that match
the induction cooking zone size. Proper
relationship of utensil to cooking zone will
also improve efficiency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface
elements — To reduce the risk of burns,
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 elements unattended
at high heat settings — Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.
• 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.
• Do not use decorative surface burner
covers. If an element is accidentally
turned on, the decorative cover 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.
