of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen- ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the sudden change in tem- perature. Follow utensil manufacturer's instructions when us- ing glass.

To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean oven. A

damaged element could short resulting in a fire or shock hazard.

Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these bowls

during cooking could damage wiring.

Glass-Ceramic Cooktop (select models)

NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken

cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a quali- fied technician immediately.

Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce nox-

ious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.

Deep Fat Fryers

Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or dispos- ing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan.
