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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers ofpotential 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.

SURFACEUNITS
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.
Nex.er leax.e file surfi_ce units unatmnded
at high heat seuings. Boilox.ers cause
smoking and greasy spillo_.ers that m W
catch on fire.
Only certain wpes of glass, gtassAeramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others m W
break because of the sudden chang.e in
temperature.
To minimize the possibili U of burns,
ig)lifion of flamnlable materials and
spillag.e, tile handle of a container
should be turned toward the center of
the rang.e wifltottt exmnding ox.er nearby

Always uml fire surfi_ce units off before
removing cookware.
_4]len preparing flaming %ods under
the hood, uml the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. Tile
glass sur_ace of rite cooktop will retain heat
after the controls hax.e been mined off;
Kee I) an eye on %ods being flied at high
or medium high heat settinKs.
Foods for flying should be as dry as
possible. Frost on fiozen foods or moisutre
on flesh foods carl cause hot lht to bubble
up and ox.er the sides of the pan.
Use little _t for efl_cfi_.e shallow or deep

cause spillox.ers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or/_ats will be
used in flTing, stir tog.ether before heating,
or as/_ats meh slowly.
Always heat fi_tslowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep t:at tltem/ometer whenever

Avoid scratching tile glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched Mill items such
as shaq) insmm_ents, ring_ or other
jeweh> and rix.ets on clothing.
Larg.e scratches or impacts to glass
doors or cooktops carl lead to broken
or shattered glass.
Do not operate tile radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillo_.ers or cleaning
solution m W penetrate a broken cooktop
and cream a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified mchnician immediamly
should your glass cooktop become broken.
Nex.er use tile glass cooktop sur/_ace as a

Do not place or store imms that can melt
or catch fire on file glass cooktop, ex.en
when it is not being used.
Be careflrl when placing spoons or other
sfin_ing utensils on glass cooktop sur_ace
when it is in use. They m W become hot
and could cause bums.
Clean file cooktop Mill caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot snr_ace unit, be carefitl to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners carl produce
noxious flmtes if applied to a hot surfi_ce.

pressure mustbe maintained for the
required time.
After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
