Important Safety Instructions

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of this appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be done by a qualified
technician.

• Never use any part of the appliance for
storage. Flammable materials can ignite
and plastic items may melt or burst into
flame.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended
at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls
Are in Place – Absence of these pans or
bowls during cooking may subject wiring
or components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum
foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of electric shock,
or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range-top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.

• Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different size. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner
will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned
Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units – To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If
cook-top should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cook-top and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS
OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cook-top
and surfaces facing the cook-top.
Surface units may be hot even though
they are dark in color.

• DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD
CONTAINERS: A buildup of pressure
can cause the containers to burst.
