IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS (cont.)

Operating Instructions Safety

■Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

■When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

■Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

■Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

■If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

WARNING!

OVEN

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

Troubleshooting Tips Care

■Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

■Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

■Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
