IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS l Read ail instructions before using
the range.
l install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided
installation Instructions. It is rec-
ommended that the range be
installed by a qualified installer.
The range must be properly
connected and grounded to
electrical supply.
l 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 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.
l Do 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.
l Do not repair or replace any
part of the range unless specifi-
cally recommended in this man-
ual. Ail 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.
l 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 fiat tray. Fiam-
ing grease outside of pan can
be extinguished with baking
soda or, if available, a muitipur-
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.
l Select a pan with a fiat 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
boiiover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spiiiovers
that may ignite.
l Check 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 sud-
den 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.
l Do not heat unopened con-
tainers. They could explode. The
hot contents could cause burns
and container particles could
cause injury.
