IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS –
I
Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near
units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those
areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings –
I
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,
I
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
I
Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used
I
to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface.
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape
I
before removing or replacing food.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure
I
may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
I
Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired
I
location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is
hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
I
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. 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
heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are
oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors.
