RANGE SAFETY
• Do not touch surface units, areas near
surface units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven. Surface units and
heating elements may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units and interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units, areas near surface
units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of
the range, such as the oven vent opening,
the surface near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door and window,
could also become hot enough to cause
burns.
• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It
could catch on fire.
• Keep range vents unobstructed.
• Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles could
cause injury.
• Use only cookware approved for oven
use. Follow cookware manufacturer's
instructions, especially when using glass
or plastic cookware.
• Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
• Make sure the reflector bowls are in place
during cooking. Cooking without reflector
bowls could subject the wiring and
components underneath them to damage.
• Do not line reflector bowls with aluminum
foil or other liners. Improper installation of
these liners could result in a risk of elec-
tric shock or fire.
• Select a pan with a flat bottom that is
about the same size as the surface unit.
If pan is smaller than the surface unit,
some of the heating element will be
exposed and could result in the igniting
of clothing or pot holders. Correct pan
size also improves cooking efficiency.
° Check to be sure glass cookware is safe
for use on the range. Only certain types of
glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooktops without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Never leave surface units unattended at
high heat settings. A boilover could result
and cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface units. This will help reduce
the chance of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to bumping of
the pan.
Should food flame when cooking under a
ventilating hood, turn the hood on.
