NEVER use appliance door, or drawer,
if equipped, as a step stool or seat as this
may result in possible tipping of the
appliance, damage to the appliance, and
serious injuries.
If appliance is installed near a window,
precautions should be taken to prevent
curtains from blowing over surface ele-
ments.
NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the
room. Failure to follow this instruction can
lead to possible burns, injury, fire, or dam-
age to the appliance.
NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging gar-
ments while using the appliance. Clothing
could catch utensil handles or ignite and
cause burns if garment comes in contact
with hot heating elements.
To ensure proper operation and to avoid
damage to the appliance or possible injury,
do not adjust, service, repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in this guide. Refer all other
servicing to a qualified technician.
NEVER store or use gasoline or other
combustible or flammable materials in the
oven, near surface units or in the vicinity of
this appliance as fumes could create a fire
hazard or an explosion.
To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking
grease or other flammable materials accu-
mulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in a
steam burn. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth which could easily
touch hot heating elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is
completed.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the
surface unit or in the oven. Pressure build-
up in the container may cause container to
burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to
the appliance.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers, stove top
grills or add-on oven convection systems.
The use of devices or accessories that are
not expressly recommended in this manual
can create serious safety hazards, result in
performance problems, and reduce the life
of the components of this appliance.
NEVER use aluminum foil to line drip
bowls or cover oven racks or oven bottom.
This could result in risk of electric shock,
fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil

OOKTOP
NEVER leave surface units unattended
especially when using high heat. An unat-
tended boilover could cause smoking and a
greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with flat
bottoms large enough to cover element.
Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct con-
tact and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed uten-
sils are suitable for cooktop or oven service
without breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature. Follow utensil manu-
facturer's instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another
surface element. This reduces the risk of

burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.
