Important Safety Information
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface burner flame. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
Heat Settings—Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
3. Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line
oven bottom except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due
to sudden change in temperature.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—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.
Delayed Ignition
Surface Burners
Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does not
ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to
OFF
position
and follow directions in “Placing Grates and Burner Caps”
and “Before Calling for Service” section. Try burner again.
If burner still does not ignite in 4 seconds, contact an
authorized servicer.
Bake Burner Flame
Allow no more than 40–60 seconds before burner ignites
and heat is felt. To check for heat, open oven door to first
stop and place hand over oven door. If heat is not felt, turn
temperature knob to
OFF
position. If burner repeatedly
fails to ignite, contact an authorized servicer.
Broiler Flame
Allow no more than 40–60 seconds before burner ignites
and flame is seen. If burner does not ignite turn
temperature knob to
OFF
position. If burner repeatedly
fails to ignite within 40–60 seconds contact an authorized
servicer.
Radiant screen style broiler flame should appear hazy or
fuzzy. Haze should be no more than
3
/8 inch thick. The
radiant screen should begin to glow red or orange within
1–2 minutes.
