Whirlpool RF310PXD Range User Manual


 
@Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could be
burned.
@Use only dry pot holders. Moist
or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holder
touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth for
a pot holder. It could catch on
fire.
*Keep range vents unobstructed.
@Do not heat unopened contain-
ers. They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
@Use only utensils approved for
oven use. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions,
especially when using glass or
plastic utensils.
@Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
@Make sure the reflector bowls are
in place during cooking. Cooking
without reflector bowls could
subject the wiring and compo-
nents underneath them to
damage.
l
Do not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners.
Improper installation of these liners
could result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
@Select a pan with a flat bottom that
is about the same size as the
surface unit. If pan is smaller than
the surface unit, some of the heat-
ing element will be exposed and
could result in the igniting of cloth-
ing or pot holders. Correct pan size
also improves cooking efficiency.
@Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without break-
ing due to the sudden change in
temperature.
*Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boilover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that
could ignite.
@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.
