•Use only dry pot holders. Moist
or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holder
touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth
for a pot holder. It could catch
on fire.
•Keep range vents unobstructed.
•Do not heat unopened contain
ers. They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
•Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
•Make sure the reflector bowls
are in place during cooking.
Cooking without reflector bowls
could subject the wiring and
components underneath them
to damage.
•Do not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners.
Improper installation of these
liners could result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
•Select a pan with a flat bottom
that is about the same size as
the surface unit. If pan is smaller
than the surface unit, some of
the heating element will be
exposed and could result in the
igniting of clothing or pot holders.
Correct pan size also improves
cooking efficiency.
•Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen
ware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
•Never leave surface units unat
tended at high heat settings. A
boilover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
•Turn pan handles inward, but
not over other surface units. This
will help reduce the chance of
burns, igniting of flammable mate
rials, and spills due to bumping of
the pan.
When using the oven
•Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be removed
while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating ele
ment in oven.
•Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
