IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING 
YOUR COIL COOKTOP

Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in 
place - absence of these pans or bowls during 
cooking may subject wiring or components under-
neath to damage.

Carefully check the reflector pans, drip bowls, and 
coils for packaging material. Remove all 
packaging material before using the cooktop.on 
the cooking zone will improve efficiency.

Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to 
line surface drip bowls. Improper use of these 
liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. 

Do not immerse or soak removable heating 
elements—Heating elements should never be 
immersed in water. Heating elements clean them-
selves during normal operation.

Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If 
an element is accidentally turned on, the decora-
tive cover will become hot and possibly melt. 
Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. 
Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

Do not allow grease to accumulate around 
surface burners and drip bowls.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING 
YOUR OVEN

Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil, after-
market oven liners, or any other materials or 
devices to line oven bottom, oven racks, or any 
other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum as 
recommended for baking, such as lining 
cookware or as a cover placed on food. Any other 
use of protective liners or aluminum foil may 
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short 
circuit.

Use care when opening oven door, lower oven 
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to 
the side of the appliance when opening the door 
of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before 
you remove or replace food in the oven.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touching 
surfaces in this area when the oven is on may 
cause severe burns. Do not place plastic or heat-
sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These 
items can melt or ignite.

Placement of oven racks - Always place oven 
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack 
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let 
potholder contact hot burner or element in oven. 
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both 
hands to reposition. Remove all cookware and 
utensils before moving the rack.

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler 
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away 
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the 
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and 
grease could ignite.

Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always 
cook in proper cookware and always use the 
oven racks.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING 
YOUR APPLIANCE

Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts 
free of grease that could catch fire. Do not allow 
grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan 
could catch fire.

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended 
directions for use of kitchen cleaners and 
aerosols. Be aware that excess residue from 
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing 
damage and injury.

Before manually cleaning any part of the appli-
ance, be sure all controls are turned off and the 
appliance is cool. Cleaning a hot appliance can 
cause burns.
