IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep this bOok for later use.
Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified technician.
Choose pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough
to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down
the risk of setting potholders or clothing on lira with an
uncovered element and waste less energy.
Always use care when touching the cooktop elements,
areas near cooktop elements, oven heating elements or
inside theoven. Heating elements could be hot enough
to burn you even If they are dark In color. The oven vent
duct and oven door may also become hot during range
use.
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Place oven racks In desired position while oven Is cOol.
If rack must be moved while oven Is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
Alter broiling, always take the broiler pan out o! the
range and clean It. Leftover grease In the broiler pan
can catch on fire next time you use the pan.
Always use dry potholdera when removing pans from
the oven or cooktop. Moist or damp potholders can
cause steam burns.
