IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION- Do not touch surface burn-
ers or elements, areas near these burners
or elements, interior surfaces of the oven,
or the warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface burners and elements may be hot
even though they appear cool. Areas near
surface burners and elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials touch these
areas until they are cool. These areas may
include the cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, oven vent areas, oven door, and
oven window.
CAUTION - Do not attempt to operate
the appliance during a power failure. If the

equipped with one or more surface units
of dierent sizes. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve eciency.
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the
cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.
Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COIL COOKTOP
Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are
in place - absence of these pans or bowls
during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
Carefully check the reflector pans, drip
bowls, and coils for packaging material.
Remove all packaging material before using the cooktop.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface drip bowls. Improper
use of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
Do not immerse or soak removable heating elements—Heating elements should
never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal
operation.
Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If an element is accidentally turned on,
the decorative cover will become hot and
possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be
done to the cooktop.
Do not allow grease to accumulate around
surface burners and drip bowls.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as recommended
for baking, such as lining cookware or as
a cover placed on food. Any other use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a
short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven

burner or element in oven. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and utensils
before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
