of oven until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Other surfaces
of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near
the vent opening, the cooktop,
and the oven door and window,
could also become hot enough to
cause burns.
@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 holders 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 manu-
facturer’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
@Do not cook on a broken cooktop.
If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers could
penetrate the broken cooktop and
create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
aSelect 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
heating element will be exposed
and could result in the igniting of
clothing 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, ear-then-
ware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
@Never leave surface units un-
attended 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.
