IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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.

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.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, ff your model has a surface light, you must recycle the

fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

children shouM not be stored in cabinets

above a range or on the backsplash of a
range-children climbing on tile range to
reach items couM be seriously iqjured.

Never wear loose4itting or hanging
garments while using die appliance. 1_

carefld when reaching f_r items stored over

the range. Flammable material could be
ignited ifbrought in contact with hot

smthce units or beating elemenLs and m W

cause severe bums.

Use only (hy pot holders-moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces mW,>sult in
bums from steam. Do not let pot holders

touch hot smtace units or beating elemenLs.

Do not use a u)wel or other bulky doth in

Do not use water on gTease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn tile controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a snrface

unit by covering tile pan completely with a

x_ll4itting lid, cookie sheet or flat u W. Use

a multi-purpose (hy chemical or f{mm-type
fire exting_fisher.

Flaming g_ease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it wifll baking soda or, if

available, by using a multi-purpose (hy

chemical or fkmm-type fire exfing_fisher.
Flame in tile oven can be smodmred

completely by dosing die oven door and

mining tile oven off or by using a muhi-

purpose (hy chemical or f_mm-type fire
extinglfisher.

For _x)ur safety, never use your appliance

Do not let cooldng g_ease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or

near the range.
Do not touch tile snrface units, tile heating

elements or the interior surface of tile
oven. These surfaces may be hot enougil to

burn even though they are daft{ in color.

During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials

contact tile surface units, areas nearby the
smtace uniLs or any interior area of tile

oven; allow sufficient time fk)rcooling first.

Potentially hot smtaces include dm

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 aportion of the surface unit to direct

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

improve efficiencg

Never leave file smtace units unattended at
high heat settings, l_ilovers cause smoking

and gTeasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable fk)rcooktop sets'ice; others m W
break because of the sudden change in

temperature.
To minimize tim possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the hmldle of a conlainer shouM
be turned towaM the center of the range

without extending over neafl)y sm_a(:e uniLs.
Always turn tim snrlace units offbefk_re

removing cookware.

When preparing flaming fbods under dm

hood, turn the fan on.

Use care when touching d3e cooktop. Tim
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat

after the controls have been turned off.
Keep an eye on f(_ods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

Foods f_)rflying should be as (hT as

possible. Fr_)st on frozen fi.)ods or moisture
on flesh f()ods can cause hot fat to bubble

up and over the sides of the pan.

Use little fat f{)r effective shallow or deep
fat flTing. Filling tim pan too full offat can
cause spillovers when f(_od is added.

Ira combination of oils or fats will be used
in flying, stir together 1)ef{)r_ heating, or as

fats melt slowly.

Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it beats.

Use a deep fat flmrmometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
tim smoking point.

Do not operate tim radiant smtace units if

tim glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop

and create a risk of elecuical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately

shouM }_ur glass cooktop become broken.

Never use dm glasscooktop smtace asa

Do not place or store items flint can melt or

catch fire on the glass cooku)p, even when

it is not being used.

Be carefl|l when placing spoons or other
sti_Ting utensils on ,glass cooktop smtace

when it is in use. They may become hot and

could cause bums.

Clean dm cooku)p widl caution. Ifa wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a

hot smiace unit, be car_ful to avoid steam

bums. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied m a hot smtace.

NOTE,"We recommend flint you avoid

wiping any smtace unit areas until they

have cooled and the indicau)r light has
gone ore Sugar spills are the exception to

this. Please see the Cleaning the glass

Keep tile oven vent unobstn_cted.
Keep tile oven flee from gTease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact tile heating elements.

V_qmnusing cooking or roasting bags in

tile oven, ff)llow tile manuf_tctu,er's

directions.

Pulling out dm shelf to tile stop-lock is a
