8 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Foil may be used to wrap food in the oven or warming drawer, but do not allow the foil to come into
contact with the exposed heating/broiling elements in the oven. The foil could melt or ignite, causing
smoke, fire, or injury.
• Use caution with the Delayed Timed Cook features. Use the automatic timer when cooking cured or
frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables. Foods that can easily spoil, such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or
poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven
for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when cooking is
complete. Eating spoiled food can result in sickness from food poisoning.
• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Choose proper burner size. For smaller pots and pans, use the smaller heating elements. For larger pots
and pans, use the larger heating elements. Select pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the
heating elements. Using undersized pans exposes a portion of the heating element to direct contact and
may result in clothing burning.
• Glazed cookware. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
cookware are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
• Do not turn surface units on before placing cookware.
• Do not store heavy items above the cooktop surface that could fall and damage it.
• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrappings or any other material on the range when it is in use.
• Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch the surface.
• FOOD POISON HAZARD : Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140 °F.
- Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm setting to heat cold food.
- Do not use the warm setting for more than 2 hours.
• The edges of the range vent are sharp. Wear gloves when cleaning the range to avoid injury.
• Replace oven racks before turning the oven on to prevent burns.
• Do not cover the racks with aluminum foil, or any other material, or place anything on the bottom of the
oven. Doing so will result in poor baking and may damage the oven bottom.
• Only arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.
• Do not hit the glass door panel with excessive force. Do not allow hard objects like cookware or glass
bottles to hit the glass door panel. The glass could break, resulting in a risk of personal injury.
• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid.
• Do not cover the grid with aluminum foil.
• Position food (fat side up) on the grid.
• Do not use a broiler pan without a grid. Oil can cause a grease fire.
• Do not cover the grid and broiler pan with aluminum foil. Doing so will cause a fire.
• Always use a broiler pan and grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to reduce splatter,
smoke, and flare-ups.
• When using your broiler, the temperature inside the oven will be extremely high. Take caution to avoid
possible burns by:
- Keeping the door closed when broiling
- Always wearing oven mitts when inserting or removing food items
• Never cover slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover entire racks with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and can result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil can also trap heat, causing a fire hazard or poor oven performance.
• Clean the grease filters on your exhaust hood regularly.
