RANGE SAFETY When using the cooktop nut • Do not touch surface units, areas near surface units, heating elements, or interior surfaces of oven. Surface units and heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units and 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 surface units, areas near surface units, heating elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the range, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, and the oven door and window, could also become hot enough to cause burns. • 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. • 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 cookware is safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. • Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that could ignite. • Keep range vents unobstructed. • Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury. • Use only cookware approved for oven use. Follow cookware manufacturer's instructions, especially when using glass or plastic cookware. • Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes could create an explosion and/or fire hazard. • Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface units. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan. • Should food flame when cooking under a ventilating hood, turn the hood on. - 2 -

RANGE
SAFETY
When
using
the
cooktop
nut
•
Do
not
touch
surface
units,
areas
near
surface
units,
heating
elements,
or
interior
surfaces
of
oven.
Surface
units
and
heating
elements
may
be
hot
even
though
they
are
dark
in
color.
Areas
near
surface
units
and
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
surface
units,
areas
near
surface
units,
heating
elements,
or
interior
surfaces
of
oven
until
they
have
had
sufficient
time
to
cool.
Other
surfaces
of
the
range,
such
as
the
oven
vent
opening,
the
surface
near
the
vent
opening,
the
cooktop,
and
the
oven
door
and
window,
could
also
become
hot
enough
to
cause
burns.
•
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
containers.
They
could
explode.
The
hot
contents
could
cause
burns
and
container
particles
could
cause
injury.
•
Use
only
cookware
approved
for
oven
use.
Follow
cookware
manufacturer's
instructions,
especially
when
using
glass
or
plastic
cookware.
•
Do
not
store
flammable
materials
on
or
near
the
range.
The
fumes
could
create
an
explosion
and/or
fire
hazard.
•
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
elec-
tric
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
cookware
is
safe
for
use
on
the
range.
Only
certain
types
of
glass,
glass
-ceramic,
ceramic,
earthen-
ware,
or
other
glazed
cookware
are
suitable
for
cooktops
without
breaking
due
to
the
sudden
change
in
temperature.
•
Never
leave
surface
units
unattended
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
materials,
and
spills
due
to
bumping
of
the
pan.
•
Should
food
flame
when
cooking
under
a
ventilating
hood,
turn
the
hood
on.
