5 Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN Protective Liners - DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire. • Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or lower oven door - Stand to the side of the range 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 unobstructed. The oven vent is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite. • Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving. • Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. • Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite. • Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface elements. - To reduce the risk of burns and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. • Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings - Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spills. • Glazed cooking utensils - Only certain types of cookware are suitable for cook top service and must be magnetic to work properly on the induction zones. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook top use to ensure that the cookware is compatible with induction cooking. • When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOK TOP MODELS • Do not cook on broken cook top-If cook top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. • Clean cook top with caution-If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP • Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a pan of food on the surface element unit before turning it on, and turn the element off before removing the pan. • Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils specifically designed for induction ranges having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface of the induction zone. Proper relationship of cookware to zone will also improve efficiency. If improperly placed, the display will flash until the cookware is placed properly on the induction zone. Save these instructions for future reference.
