I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont.) • DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N ELECTRICAL SAFETY • Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil or any other material to line the oven bottoms. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. • Do Not allow aluminum foil or meat probe to contact heating elements. WARNING • Before replacing your oven light bulb, switch off the electrical power to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SURFACE COOKING UNITS • Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N ENGLISH READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE CHILD SAFETY WARNING • Children should be kept away from the oven. • Accessory parts will become hot when the broiler is in use. CAUTION • DO NOT leave small children unattended near the appliance. During the self-cleaning cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot to the touch. CAUTION • NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES (cont.) • 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. - The hot air from the vent could melt plastics or ignite flammable items.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N SAFETY WHEN CLEANING • Do Not Clean Door Gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. • Do Not Use Oven Cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. • Before self cleaning the oven. Remove broiler pan, all oven racks, meat probe and any other utensils from the oven cavity.

S U R FAC E C O N T RO L S C O O K I N G TIPS TO PROTECT THE GLASS COOKTOP SURFACE Cleaning To Prevent Marks and Scratches (See pages 32~33 for more information) Before first use, clean the cooktop. Clean your cooktop daily or after each use. This will keep your cooktop looking good and can prevent damage. If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.
S U R FAC E C O N T RO L S C O O K I N G The cooking areas on your range are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooktop surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size. Pans should not extend more than 1/2 to 1-inch beyond the cooking area. When a control is turned on, a glow can be seen through the glass cooktop surface. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the preset heat setting, even on Hi.
S U R FAC E C O N T RO L S C O O K I N G HOME CANNING TIPS Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit. Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom. The base must not be more than 1 inch larger than the element. Use of water bath canners with rippled bottoms may extend the time required to bring the water to a boil and cooktops may be damaged. Some canners are designed with smaller bases for use on smooth top surfaces.
