2.Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.

3.Do not leave children alone. Children should not be alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4.Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using appliance.

5.User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

6.Storage in or on appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

7.Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8.Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1.Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Use of oversized utensils concentrates heat on cooking surface and can cause damage to range. Proper relationship of utensil to burner improves efficiency.

2.Never leave surface units unattended. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3.Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

4.Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven bottoms. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

5.Glazed cooking utensils—Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
