11.

Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in bums from
steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Use Proper Pan Size - Select utensils of the proper size. Choose flat bottomed cookware; the pot
or pan should never rock on the grates. An unstable pan can result in spills and uneven cooking.
The pan should be large enough to hold the desired quantity of food without spilling or boiling

over. Choose a pan with a well-designed handle that provides suitable grasping area for its weight.
Do not use utensils with loose handles. The utensil chosen should be of adequate size to assure
that the flame size does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan.

Never Leave Cook-Top Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boil over causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Glazed Cooking Utensils - Because of the potential for breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature, only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

12.

Caution when Deep Frying - When deep frying be sure to use a pan that is large enough to
hold the food to be fried without overflowing. Never leave a deep fryer unattended. To

avoid excessive splattering of hot oil, never deep fry moist or frost-covered foods. Be
sure to use a deep frying thermometer to avoid overheating the oil. Most foods should be

fried at about 375°F, while large solid pieces should be fried at 340°F.

13.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Units - To reduce the risk of bums, 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.

14.

Do Not Touch Grates, Burner Caps or Burner Bases or Other Parts Close to the Burner
Flames - Grates, burner caps, burner bases and other parts close to the flame may become hot

enough to cause bums. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact these items or areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

15. Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top - If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock; contact a
qualified technician immediately.

16. Clean Cook-Top With Caution - Ifa wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

17. Check for OffWhen Done - Always checktheposition of thecook-topcontrolknobs
when you have finished cookingto makesurethey are all inthe offpositi0ns.

Is. "CAUTION" - Do not store itemsof interest to childrenin cabinetsabove the

cook-top - children climbingon the cook-top to reachitemscould be seriously injured.

19. Do Not cover the Burners and Grates - Do not cover the burners or grates with anything other
than properly selected pots or pans. Decorative covers, cutting blocks, etc. should not be used on

the grates or burners.

20. Do not Heat Sealed Containers - Do not heat unopened food containers, such as bottles

or cans of sauce, baby food, etc. Pressure build up in a sealed container may cause the container
to fail catastrophically causing injury.

21. Conversions - Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for the appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by a Bosch distributor, qualified service
technician, installer, service agency or the gas supplier using factory specified and approved parts.

22.

Exposure warning - Gas fuels and their use in appliances can cause minor exposure to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Significant

exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Properly adjusted burners with
blue, rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood or an

open window will further minimize exposure.
