COOKTOP

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper

relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan

of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner
off before removing the pan.

oAIways turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top

burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the

flame so it does not extend beyond the edge o the utensil.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Burners_To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional

contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Boitovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners_Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested in this

manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suita ble for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's

recommendations for cooktop use.

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use

an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding prong
from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can
cause seriousinjury, fire or death.

This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong

grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle.

DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded. For

maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an
electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly grounded.

DO NOT Operate the range using a 2-prong adapter or an
extension cord. If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available

outlet, it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it

plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These
items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired

location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with

both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot
