INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Do Not Use Water on Grease
Fires – Smother fire or flame or
use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist
or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch
hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Never Leave Surface Units
Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only
certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-
top service without breaking due
to the sudden change in
temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned
Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Units – To
reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, the
handle of a utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface units.
• Disconnect power before
servicing.
• Proper Installation – The
appliance, when installed, must
be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes, or
in the absence of local codes,
with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1-02. In
Canada, the appliance must be
electrically grounded in
accordance with Canadian
Electrical Code. Be sure your
appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified
technician.
• Injuries may result from misuse of
appliance doors or drawers such
as stepping, leaning, or sitting on
the doors or drawers.
• Maintenance – Keep range area
clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
• Do not let cooking grease or
other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range.
Grease in the oven or on the
cooktop may ignite.

on safety considerations.
