IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

TheCalifomb Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb to

publish a list 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.

Thefiberglass 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 or hood.

Ruorescent light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has asurface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

_fi:,iNex_r leave the surfi_ce units unattended

at high heat settings. Boilo_>rs cause
smoking and greasy spillo_ers that may

catch on fire.

_{_Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip

pans or any_,here in the oven except as
described in this manual. Misuse could

result in a shock, fire hazard or damag>
to the range.

E:,:Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct

ate not coxered and are in place. Their
absence during cooking could damag>
rang> parts and wiring.

_{_Only certain types of glass, glassAeramic,

earthenware or oflter glazed containers
are suitable for cookmp set-_dce; others
may break because of rite sudden change
in ten_perature.

_?{::To minimize the possibility of bums,

ignition of flammable mamrials and
q)illage, rite handle of a container

should be turned toward the center
of the rang_ wifltout exmnding oxer

nearby surface units.

_fi:,iAlways turn rite surface units off before

rent oving cookware.

_{_:Do not immerse or soak the

removable surface units. Do not put
them in a dishwashen Do not self-clean

fire sttiP, tce units in fire ox>n.

E:,:Clean the cooktop wiflt cant.ion, ff a wet

sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, be careflfl to axoid smam bmxls.

E:,:Kee I) an eye on foods being fried at high

or medium high heat setting:s.

_?{:;Foods for flTing should be as dry as

possible. Frost on flozen foods or moisture
on fiesh foods can cause hot l_atto bubble

up and ox>r the sides of the pan.

_:;Use little fat tbr effective sha]low or deep

fat flTing. Filling the pan mo flfll of l_atcan
cause spillox>rs when fbod is added.

_]{_If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in fEving, stir together before heating, or as
