Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the
range, follow basic precautions,
including
l
Read all instructions before using
the range.
l
Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is rec-
ommended that the range be in-
stalled by a qualified installer. The
range must be properly connected
to electrical supply and grounded.
l
DO not use the range for warming
or heating the room. Persons
could be burned or injured, or a fire
could start.
l
Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the range. They could be
burned or injured.
l
Do not wear loose or hanging gar-
ments when using the range. They
could ignite if they touch a hot sur-
face unit or heating element and
you could be burned.
l
Do not repair or replace any part
of the range unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
. Do not store flammable materials
in or near the range. They could
explode or burn.
l
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on cooktop
by covering with a well-fined lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or,
if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a potholder. They
could catch on fire.
l
Select a pan with a flat bottom that
is about the same size as the sur-
face unit. If pan is smaller than the
surface unit, some of the heating
element will be exposed and may
result in the igniting of clothing or
potholders. Correct pan size also
improves cooking efficiency.
l
Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boil-over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spill-overs
that may ignite.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. Only certain types of
glass, glass ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed uten-
sils are suitable for cooktops with-
out breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials, and
spills due to bumping of the pan.
l
Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot con-
tents could cause burns and con-
tainer particles could cause injury.
