IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the state to cause 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, Ifyour model has a

surface light, you must recycle the fluorescent light bulb
according to local, state and federal codes.

WARNING!

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS

Useproper 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 the surface
units unattended at

high heat settings.
Boilovers cause

smoking and _easy
spillovers that may

catch on fire.

.....Avoid scratching the

glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be

scratched with items
such as sharp

insuuments, rings or
other,jewel U and rivets
on clothing.

.....Do not operate the

radiant surface units if
the glass is broken.

Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate
a broken cooktop and

create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a

qualified technician
immediately should

your glass cooktop

become broken.

Never use the glass
cooktop surface as a
cutting board.

become hot and could
cause burns.

.....To minimize the

possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable
materials and spillage,

the handle of a
container should be
turned toward the

center of the range
without extending over
nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface
units off before

removing cookware.
