potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot-
holders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.

ments, areas near these burners or el-
ements, interior surfaces of the oven,

Surface burners and elements may
be hot even though they appear cool.
Areas near surface burners and ele-
ments may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use,

er lammable materials touch these
areas until they are cool. These areas
may include the cooktop, surfaces
facing the cooktop, oven vent areas,
oven door, and oven window.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to operate the ap-
pliance during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn of the appli-
ance. If the appliance is not turned

the oven function.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
CAUTION
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust lame
size so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil. The use of under-
sized utensils will expose a portion of
the burner lame to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to lame will also
improve eiciency.
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area of before re-
moving the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of diferent sizes. Select cookware with lat
bottoms that match the surface unit heat-
ing element. The use of undersized cook-
ware may expose a portion of the lame to
direct contact and may result in the igni-
tion of clothing or other items. Using the
proper cookware on the cooking areas will
improve eiciency.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check
that burner has lit. Then adjust the lame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of
the utensil.
