SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Ensure the appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualifi ed technician.
Never use the appliance for warming or heating the
room.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in
the area where the appliance is in use. Children
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a range or on the back guard of a range.
Children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
Loose fi tting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifi cally recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualifi ed
technician.
Flammable materials should not be stored in or near
the appliance.
Do not use water on grease fi res. Smother fi re
or fl ame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
element is ON, the surface element will turn back on
as soon as power is restored. In the event of power
loss, failure to turn all surface element knobs to the
OFF position may result in ignition of items on or
near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or an electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface elements are at the OFF position, and that
all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove
a coil cooking element.
COOK TOP SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with four burners of different sizes. Select utensils
that have fl at bottoms large enough to cover
the surface of the 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 effi ciency.
Never leave the appliance unattended while in use.
Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills can
ignite.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fi re that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fi re, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Ensure that refl ector pans or drip bowls are in
place. Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
Do not use aluminum foil to line 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 fi re.
Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top
service without breaking due to sudden change in
temperature.
To reduce risk of burns, ignition of fl ammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional contact,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward and does not extend over
adjacent burners.
Removable heating elements should never be
immersed in water.
