WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT
INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
•
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit
by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven
off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door
open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures
may lead to a burst of flame from the oven, Failure to
follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never leave the surface units unattended with the cooktop
ON. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may catch on fire.
• Always be present at the range when cooking with oil or
grease. Surface cooking is an "attended" activity.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat
beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may
spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil
when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods
with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface 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.
• 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.
• When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan
on.
• If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface unit
is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as power
is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn
all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may result in
ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious
injury or death.
WARNING
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of
the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been
turned off.
•
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
•
Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on
the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the
cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat
from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off may
cause them to ignite also.
• Use ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-scratch cleaning
pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools
and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet
sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to
a hot surface. NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They
should be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and
a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for
detailed instructions.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the
cleaning cream label.
