9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING-ALL APPLIANCES • 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 a potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. WARNING-SURFACE COOKING UNITS • Use proper pan size - This appliance may be equipped with surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency. The flame size should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This instruction is based on safety considerations. • Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings - Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. • If applicable, make sure drip trays are in place - Absence of these trays during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage. • Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire. • 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. • Clean the cooktop with caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. • Do not soak removable heating elements - Heating elements should never be immersed in water. WARNING-GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES Do not cook on a broken cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact an authorized service provider immediately. WARNING-INDUCTION SURFACES Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the cooktop surface since they can get hot. WARNING-DEEP FAT FRYERS Use extreme caution when moving a grease kettle or disposing of hot grease. WARNING-OVENS • Use care when opening door - Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. • Do not heat unopened food containers - Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. • Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. • Placement of oven racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the hot heating element in oven. WARNING-SELF-CLEANING OVENS • Do not clean the 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 a protective coating to line the oven and do not use a commercial oven cleaner unless certified for use in a self-cleaning oven. • Clean only parts listed in manual. • Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in an oven during the pyrolytic self-cleaning mode of operation. • Please note that some pets or humans can be sensitive to the odors created during the self-cleaning process whether it is a manufacturing residue burn off or food. It is recommended that those potentially affected be removed from the kitchen area during the self-clean process. 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. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors. 4
