IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
•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.
FOR GLASS COOKTOP ONLY
•Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop— If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
•Clean Cooktop Glass 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 harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
•Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp Objects.

•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven door. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat- sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
•Placement of Oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if equipped) racks in desired location while appliance is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let pot holders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if equipped).
•Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
•Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
•Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the appliance or shut off the power to the appliance before removing and replacing the bulb.
