let potholder touch flame. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. Useproperpan size. Thisappliance isequippedwith
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 burner to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Use of
oversized utensils concentrates heat on cooking
surface and can cause damage to range. Proper
relationship of utensil to burner improves efficiency.
2. Never leave surface units unattended. Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
3. Make sure drip bowls are in place. Absence of these
pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or
components underneath to damage.
4. Protective liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line drip
bowls or oven bottom. Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of fire.

ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to
sudden change in temperature.
6. 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.

Duct Requirements
• Duct should be 6-inch round metal ducting. Island or
peninsulainstallations may require 3114X 10 inch duct.
• Toensure proper ventilation, duct work must not exceed
60 equivalent feet.
• Curved fittings should not account for more than 50% of
duct length.
• Flexible duct is not recommended because of irregular
interior surface. Ifflexible duct is to be used, one foot is
equal to 2 feet of metal duct. NEVER USE PLASTIC
TYPE DRYER DUCTING.
• Do not vent into an attic or crawl space. Vent range
outside.
• Flexible duct elbows are equal to twice as many feet as
