IMPORTANTSAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Information in this Safety Instruction section
covers all electric cooking appliances. You may
find some information that does not pertain to
your particular appliance. Please review this
section before using your cooking appliance.
The following instructions are based on safety
considerations and must be strictly followed to
eliminate the potential risks of fire, electric
shock, or personal injury.
Proper Installation: Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
NEVER USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR WARMING
OR HEATING THE ROOM.
Storage Above the Range: To eliminate the
hazard of reaching over hot surface elements,
cabinel storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If provided, storage should be
limited to infrequently used items that can be
safely stored in an area subjected to heat.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items
such as volatile liquids, cleaners, or aerosol
sprays. If cabinet storage is provided,
installation of a range hood that projects at
least 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinet
will reduce the hazards associated with such
storage.
Wear Proper Apparel:
Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never
be worn while using the
appliance.
User Servicing: Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the User's Guide. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician. Always disconnect the unit or cut
off the power to the unit before any servicing.
Storage In, On or Near the Appliance: Do not
store or use gasoline or other flammable
materials, vapors and liquids in the oven, near
the surface units or in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or an explosion. Do not use the cooktop
or oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
Do Not Use Water
on Grease Fires:
Smother the fire or
flame or use a dry
chemical or foam-t_qae
extinguisher, if
available, or sprinkle
heavily with baking soda.
Use Dry Potholders Only: Moist or damp
potholders on hot snrfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholder touch the
hot heating elements. Do not use towels or
other bulky cloths.
Surface Cooking Units - Use the Proper Pan
Size: This appliance is equipped with one or
more surlace elements of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and may
result in the ignition of clothing. The proper
relationship of the utensil to the element will
also improve efficiency.
Never Leave the Surface Units Unattended at
High Heat Settings: Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Make Sure the Drip Bowls Are in Place: The
absence of these bowls during cooking may
subject the wiring or the components
underneath to damage,
Protective Liners: Do not use aluminum foil to
line the surface unit drip bowls or the oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the User's
Guide. The improper installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils: Only certain tsq3es of
glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top
service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward
and Not Extend Over the Adjacent Surface
Units: To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
