To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including
l Read all instructions before using the range.
lInstall or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions.
lDo not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
lDo not leave children alone in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.
lDo not wear loose or hanging gar- ments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot sur- face unit or heating element and you could be burned.
lDo not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically rec- ommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
lDo not store flammable materials in or near the range. They could explode or burn.
lDo not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on cooktop by covering with a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
l Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They

could catch on fire.
Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the sur- face unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves electrical efficiency.
Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A
Make sure the reflector bowls are in place dunng cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls may subject the wiring and components under- neath them to damage.
Do not line reflector bowls with alu- minum foil or other liners. Improper installation of these liners may result in a r&k of electric shock or fire.
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed uten- sils are suitable for cooktops with- out breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.
Do not soak removable heating elements in water. The element will be damaged and shock or fire could result.
Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
