Cookware Safety

Notes
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
▯
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using
▯
cooking or roasting bags.
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning
▯
food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the
pan.
Use proper pan size.
▯
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element or burner to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Proper relationship
of cookware to heating element or burner will also
improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic
▯
cooktops may break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for
ceramic cooktops. See Cookware Selection Guide.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do
▯
not extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires,
spills and burns.
CAUTION
Plastic containers or plastic wrap can melt if in direct
contact with the drawer or hot utensil. If it melts on to the
drawer, it may not be removable.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct
contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use
only heat-resistant cookware.
WARNING
DANGER OF INJURY
Cookware may spring or bounce upward due to fluid
trapped between the cookware bottom and cooking
zone. Always keep cooking zone and cookware bottom
dry.

State of California Proposition 65
Warnings
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including
vinyl chloride, which is known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substance
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of
carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean
ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
1.
Providing good ventilation during and immediately
2.
after self-cleaning the oven.
Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
3.
manual.
