@Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could be
burned.
*Use only dry pot holders. Moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may 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 utensils approved for
oven use. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions,
especially when using glass or
plastic utensils.
ADO not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
can create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
When using the cooktota
@Make sure the reflector bowls are
in place during cooking. Cooking
without reflector bowls may sub-
ject the wiring and components
underneath them to damage.
ADO not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners.
Improper installation of these
liners may 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 may result in the igniting of
clothing or pot holders. Correct
pan size also improves cooking
efficiency.
@Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
@Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boilover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
l
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.
