IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The Califomia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Govemor of Califomia 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.
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 or hood.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
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.
@ Never leave tile surface units unattended
at high heat setting. Boilovers cause
smoking and greas T spillove_s that may
catch on fire.
N Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containe*:s
are suitable lbr cooktop service; others
may break because of tile sudden change
in temperature.
N To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, tile handle of a container
should be turned toward tile center of
the range witilout extending over nearby
surface units.

Copper may leave residues which can
appear as .scratches. The residues can be
removed, as long as the cooktop is
