IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
TheCalifornia 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.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, youmust 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.

Surface Cookware Tips
Use medimn- or heavy-weight cookware.
_duminmn cookware conducts heat fi_ster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook tmevenlv if not combined with
other metnls.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucel)an to the size of the stwli_ce refit.
The pan should not extend over the
edge of the sm_hce unit more than 1".
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthatyouuseonlya flat-bottomed
wok.Theyareavailableatyourlocalretailstore.
Do not use wolds that have SUl)l)ort rings.
Placing the ring over the surii_ce trait will
cause a build-u l) of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop.
