Important safety instructions
• Storage in or on the appliance. Do not store flammable materials in the
oven or near the surface units. Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it. Keep plastics, clothes, and paper
away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
• Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance.
• Use only dry potholders. Placing moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.
• For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet
cleaners.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid creating a hazard.
• The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip
bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when
shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive
amounts of ice.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can damage the range and
cause the range to malfunction.
• Do not operate the cooktop without cookware. If the cooktop operates
without cookware, the control knobs will become hot.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
