SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

l Read all instructions before using the range.

l Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided lnstallatlon Instructions. It is recom- mended that the range be in- stalled by a qualified installer. The range must be properly con- netted to electrical supply and grounded.

0 Do not use the range for warm- ing or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

l Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.

lDo not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface unit or heating eie- ment and you could be burned.

0 Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifi- tally recommended in this man- ual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

l Do not store flammable mate- rials in or near the range. They could explode or burn,

0 Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on cook- top by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or Rat tray. Flam- ing grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipur- pose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

l Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot sur- faces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot- holder. They could catch on fire.

lSelect a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the surface unit. If pan is smaller than the surface unit, some of the heating element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency,

l Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill-avers that may ignite.

lCheck to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

l Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance

of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

l Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

6 Do not heat unopened con- tainers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.
