CauTIOn
• When heating fat or grease, watch it
closely . Grease may catch fire if it be-
comes too hot .
• Do not use water or flour on grease
fires . Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher .
Cover the fire with a pan lid or use
baking soda .
• Use dry potholders . Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam . Do not let pot-
holders touch hot cooking areas . Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths .
• Do not heat unopened food contain-
ers - Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury .
• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting
or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance . Do
not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces .
• Do not touch surface burners or ele-
ments, areas near these burners or el-
ements, interior surfaces of the oven,
or the warmer drawer (if equipped) .
Surface burners and elements may be
hot even though they appear cool .
• Areas near surface burners and ele-
ments may become hot enough to
cause burns . During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or oth-
er flammable materials touch these
areas until they are cool . These areas
may include the cooktop, surfaces
facing the cooktop, oven vent areas,
oven door, and oven window .

yOuR RadIanT COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area . Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on . Turn the cooking area off before re-
moving the cookware .
Cookware handles should be turned in-
ward and not extend over adjacent surface
elements — To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spill-
age due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of the cookware should
be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over other cooking
areas .
Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes . Select cookware with flat
bottoms that match the surface unit size .
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve efficiency .
Glazed cooking utensils— Only certain
types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceram-
ic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature . Check the manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop use .
CauTIOn
• Do not attempt to operate the ap-
pliance during a power failure . If the
power fails, always turn off the appli-
ance . If the appliance is not turned
off and the power resumes, electric
surface elements may resume opera-
tion when power is restored . Once the
power resumes, reset the clock and
the oven function .
