Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes. Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do not use unstable pans and position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop. Make sure the flames are under the pans. It is not safe to let the flames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get too hot.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never leave cooktop burners unattended at high settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and greasy spills may catch on fire.
Protective liners – DO NOT use aluminum foil to line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire and will damage the enamel finish. Never allow aluminum foil to contact the heating elements.
Glazed cooking utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not over adjacent burners. If handles are left over adjacent burners they will get hot and may burn.
Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking of the grates. This does not affect the durability of
the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal polish.
Ovens
Take care when opening the door.
Let hot air and steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build up may make container burst and cause injury.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
DO NOT place aluminum foil on bottom of oven cavity. This will cause the oven bottom to overheat and void warranty.
DO NOT clean the door gasket: the door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
DO NOT use oven cleaners: no commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
