■
Never leave the surface units unattended
at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip
pans or anywhere in the oven except as
described in this manual. Misuse could
result in a shock, fire hazard or damage to
the range.
■
Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct
are not covered and are in place. Their
absence during cooking could damage
range parts and wiring.
■
Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
■
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, the
handle of a container should be turned
toward the center of the range without
extending over nearby surface units.
■
Always turn the surface units off before
removing cookware.

Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact the
surface units, areas nearby the surface units
or any interior area of the oven; allow
sufficient time for cooling first.
■
Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crevices around the oven door.

Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
WARNING!
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
