IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California 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.

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 lightbulbs contain mercury. If your model has asurface light, you must recycle the

fluorescent lightbulb according to local, state and federal codes.

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

improve efficiency.

_; Never leave file smthce 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,

eartlmnware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop sersice; others m W
break because of tile sudden change in

temperature.

iJ_i:;To minimize tire possibility of burns,

ignition offlammable mamrials and
spillage, tile hmldle of a container shouM
be turned towar, l the center of tile range

without extending over neafl)y sm_ace uniLs.

_ Always mm fire stnlace units offbefore

removing cookware.

iSi:;When preparing flaming foods under dm

hood, turn tire fan on.

_ Use care when touching dre cooktop. Tire

glass surface of tile cooktop will retain heat
after tile controls have been turned off.

iJhi:_Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or

medium high heat settings.

_ Foods far flying should be as d_T as

possible. Fr_)st on fiozen foods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot fat to bubble

up and over tile sides of tile pan.

iJ_i:_Use little fat far effective shallow or deep

fat flTing. Filling tire pan too full offat can
cause spillovers when food is added.

iJ_i:;Ira combination of oils or fats will be used

in flying, stir together 1)efbre heating, or as
fats melt slowly.

iJ_i:_Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it beats.

iJ_i:;Use a deep fat flmrmometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
tire smoking point.

_ Do not operate fire radiant smtace units if

tire 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.

iJhi:;Be carefld 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.

iS::;Clean dm cooku)p wid_ caution. Ifa wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot sm_ace unit, be car_ful to avoid steam

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

NOTE,"We recommend fllat you avoid
