IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
▶
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes.
▶
Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit burner.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
▶
of the burner to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to burner
will also improve efficiency.
To avoid risk of fire do not store items on the cooking
surfaces.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond
the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of cookware
to burner flame reduces safety risks.
WARNING
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
▶
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary.
▶
To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no
more than a low-medium setting.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
▶
Wait until it is cool.
Spills of hot food may cause burns.
▶
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS. 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,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact
surface units or areas near units until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Clean Cooktop With Caution.
If a wet sponge or cloth is used 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.
▶
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool.
Clean around the burner and burner ports.
▶
After cleaning, check for proper operation.
▶
WARNING
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop or range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
Safe use of the oven cavity
WARNING
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should
ignite, keep door closed.
▶
Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the
circuit breaker box.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil.
▶
Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
▶
hazard.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
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,
potholders, 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,
surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
CAUTION
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of
burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open
▶
the oven door carefully.
