IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT touch cooking zones,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces, These may be hot enough
to cause burns even though they are
dark in color During and after use,
do not touch or let clothing or
flammable material contact the
zones or hot surfaces until they
have had time to cool, Other
surfaces near the oven vent
openings, oven door and window,
and cooktop surfaces may also
be hot enough to cause burns.
- NEVER LEAVE cooking zones
unattended at high settings
Boilovers result in smoking or
greasy spills which could catch fire.
• NEVER cook on a broken cooktop;
cleaning solutions and spillage could
penetrate it and create the risk of
electrical shock or fire Contact a
qualified technician for repairs,
- ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other cooking
zones to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact, and
spillage.
• WHEN PREPARING flaming foods
under the vent hood, turn the fan on.
• ONLY certain kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the sudden
temperature change.
• ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooking zones. They wil! retain heat
after the range has been turned off,
. NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
behind the right rear cooktop
cooking zone,
• COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the bottom
and large enough to cover the
heating zone being used. Under-
sized utensils expose the heating
zone and may result in direct
contact or ignition of clothing. The
proper size utensil will also improve
efficiency.
PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool, If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let pothotder
contact the hot oven element.
• AFTER BROILING, always take the
broiler pan and grid out of the oven
and clean them. Leftover grease in
the broiler pan could catch fire the
next time you use your oven,
• ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods.
° NEVER USE aluminum foil to line
the oven bottom. Improper use of
foil could start a fire, or electrical
