SURFACE COOKING UNITS

•Use Proper Pan Sizes. 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. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and 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, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

•Be sure you know which control pads operate each surface unit.Make sure you turned on the correct surface unit.

OVEN

•DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

•Use Care When Opening Door. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven

•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

•Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent is located above the left rear surface unit. this area could become hot during oven use. Never block this vent and never place plastic or heat-sensitive items on vent

•Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
