Important Safety Instructions

If appliance is installed near a window, precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over surface elements.

NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the room. Failure to follow this instruction can lead to possible burns, injury, fire, or damage to the appliance.

NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Clothing could catch utensil handles or ignite and cause burns if garment comes in contact with hot heating elements.

To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the appliance or possible injury, do not adjust, service, repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this guide. Refer all other servicing to a qualified technician.

NEVER store or use gasoline or other combustible or flammable materials in the ovens, near surface units or in the vicinity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire hazard or an explosion.

To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in a steam burn. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heating elements and ignite.

Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit or in the ovens. Pressure build-up in the container may cause container to burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to the appliance.

NEVER use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or cover oven racks or oven bottoms. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Do not use or store near appliance.

Cooktop

NEVER leave surface units unattended, especially when using high heat. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different size surface elements. Select pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Fitting pan size to element will improve cooking efficiency.

If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use element covers, stove top grills or add-on oven convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of this appliance.

Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children.

Glass-Ceramic Cooktop

NEVER cook on 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 with caution. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
