Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Operating Instructions

	■ Use only dry pot
	holders—moist or
	damp pot holders on
	hot surfaces may result
	in burns from steam.
	Do not let pot holders
	touch hot surface units
	or heating elements.
	Do not use a towel or
	other bulky cloth.
	■ For your safety, never
	use your appliance for
	warming or heating the
	room.
	■ Do not let cooking
	grease or other
	flammable materials
	accumulate in or near
	the range.
	■ Do not use water on
	grease fires. Never pick
	up a flaming pan. Turn
	the controls off.
	Smother a flaming pan
	on a surface unit by
	covering the pan
	completely with a well-
	fitting lid, cookie sheet
	or flat tray. Use a multi-
	purpose dry chemical
	or foam-type fire
	extinguisher.
	■ Flaming grease outside
	a pan can be put out by
	covering it with baking
	soda or, if available, by
	using a multi-purpose
	dry chemical or foam-
6	type fire extinguisher.

■Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact, the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

■Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above the door.

■REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.
