Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
•Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
•Use Proper Pan Size — This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units — To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended — Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
•Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements
— Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
•Glazed Cooking Utensils — Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use.
FOR CERAMIC GLASS COOK TOP MODELS
•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 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.

If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven.
•Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The 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 with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
•Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or turn off the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.
•Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food.
