IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR RADIANT COOKTOP
• Know which knob or key 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.
• Do not allow children to climb or play around
the appliance. The weight of a child on an
open oven door may cause the appliance to
tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
An open drawer when hot may cause burns.
• Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above the range. Children
climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or
drawers of this appliance can result in
serious injuries and also cause damage to
the appliance.
• Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack
with materials such as aluminum foil or after-
market oven liners. Aluminum foil linings
may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Do not use oven or warmer drawer (if
equipped) for storage.
• Never use your appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the appliance.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a
pan lid or use baking soda.
• Use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels
or other bulky cloths.
WARNING
CAUTION
• Do not heat unopened food containers -
Build-up of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing
or other flammable materials contact hot
surfaces.
• Do not touch surface burners or elements,
areas near these burners or elements,
interior surfaces of the oven, or the warmer
drawer (if equipped). Surface burners and
elements may be hot even though they
appear cool. Areas near surface burners and
elements may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials
touch these areas until they are cool. These
areas may include the cooktop, surfaces
facing the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven
door, and oven window.
• Do not attempt to operate the appliance
during a power failure. If the power fails,
always turn off the appliance. If the
appliance is not turned off and the power
resumes, electric surface elements may
resume operation when power is restored.
Once the power resumes, reset the clock
and the oven function.
