• Cold temperatures can damage the elec-
tronic control. When using this appliance
for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended period
of time, be sure the appliance has been in
temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for at
least 3 hours before turning on the power
to the appliance.
• Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type
fire extinguisher available, visible, and
easily located near the appliance.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob or keypad controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware
with food on the cooking area before
turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
• Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select cookware with
flat bottoms that match the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized
cookware may expose a portion of the
heating element to direct contact and
may result in the ignition of clothing or
other items. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking zone will improve efficiency.
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spills due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over other cooking areas.
• Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may damage
the cooktop.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.
• Only certain types of glazed cookware,
glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other
types of glazed utensils are suitable for
use on the cooktop. Improper cookware
may break due to sudden changes in
temperature. Check the cookware manu-
facturer's recommendations for cooktop
use.
• When you are flaming foods under a
ventilating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOPS
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the
cooktop is broken, cleaning solutions and
spills may penetrate the cooktop and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
• 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 burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some
models). Stand to the side of the oven
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching
surfaces in this area when the oven is on
may cause severe burns. Do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near
the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.
