Important Instructions
1.
Proper Installation – be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2.
Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.
3.
Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where
the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
4.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using
the appliance.
5.
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
6.
Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
7.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
8.
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.
9.
Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different
size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve
efficiency.
10.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
12.
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms,
except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
13.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
14.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
15.
Do Not Stack Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in
water.
16.
Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
17.
Clean Cook-Top with Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
CAUTION – Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously hurt.
