IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish alist of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan orhood.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of _hesurface unit to direct
contact and may result in i)nifion of clothing, Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will
also improve efficiency.
Never leave the surfi_ce units unattended at
high heat settings. Boilove_3 cause smoking
and greasy spillove_3 that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glassA'eramic,
earthenware or other glazed containe_3 are
suitable for cooktop service; othe_ may break
because of the sudden change in temperature.
To minimize the possibili_' of bm'ns, ignition
of flammable mamfials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the range without extending over
nearby sm_i_ce milts.
Mwavs turn the sudi_ce units off before

cause spillove_ when tood is added.
If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in flTing, stir together before heating, or
as ti_ts melt slowly.
Mwavs heat ti_t slowly; and watch as it heats.
Use a deep ti_t them_ometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating ti_t beyond
the smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with imms such
as shaq) instruments, rings or otherjeweh>
and rivets on clothing.
i_uge scratches or impacts to glass (loo_ or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
Do not operate the radiant sm'ti_ce milts if the
glass is broken. Spillove_ or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should yore" glass

NOTE" Foods that spoil easily--such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork--should not be allowed to sit for
more than 1hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that
the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.
