SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1. UseProperPanSize—Thisappliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different size. Select
utensilshavingflatbottomslarge enough to cover the
surfaceunitheatingelement.Theuseofundersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating area to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Useofoversized utensils concentrates heat on
cookingsurface and can cause damage torange.
Properrelationshipof utensil to surface element
improvesefficiency.
2. NeverLeaveSurface UnitsUnattended—Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
3. Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place—Absenceofthese pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneathtodamage.
4. ProtectiveLiners—Donot use aluminum foil to line

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
In Case of Fire
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive
grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed
as follows:
Surface Element Fire
1. Smotherthefire with a nonflammable lid orbaking
soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not
water. Not salt. Not flour.
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface
controls to OFF . Turn off power at main circuit
breakerorfusebox.
Oven Fires
1. Ifyousee smoke from your oven, do not openoven.
2. Turn oven controlto OFF .
3. Asanadded precaution, turn off power atmain
circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Turnonventtoremove smoke.
5. Allowfoodor grease to burn itself outin oven.
6. Ifsmoke and fire persist,call fire department.
7. If there is any damage to components, call an
authorizedservicerbefore using range.
Precautions
• Donot cook food directlyon rangetop surface, always
usecookware.
• Donotmix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixturesmayinteract with objectionable or even
hazardousresults.
• Oven door contains a glass window. While this glass is
built to be sturdy and resistant, it is glass and should
betreated with care.
• Donotliftormoverangebygraspingovendoor. This
can result in glass window breaking or shattering.
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They
may melt and stick.
• Do not slide rough metal objects across rangetop
surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.
• Donot leave fat heating unless youremain nearby. Fat
canignite if overheated by spilling ontohot surfaces.
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage
tocooking surface and pan.
• Do not use rangetop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not use range for storage or as a display counter.

For best cooking results, use a pan with a flat bottom.
Determine if pan has a flat bottom.
1. Rotate a ruler along bottom of pan. If pan is not flat,
gapsbetween bottom of panand edge of ruleroccur.
2. A small groove or mark on a pan does not affect
cooking times. However, if a pan has a gap, formed
rings, or an uneven bottom, it does not cook
efficiently and in some cases may not boil liquid.
Use Flat Bottom Pans
Cooking Utensils
• Use proper pan size. Do not use a pan that has a
bottom smaller than element. Do not use utensils that
overhangelement by more than 1inch.
More than
1 inch overhang
Correct Size
Use Proper Pan Size
• Select utensils without broken or loose handles.
Handles should not be heavy enough to tilt pan.
• Do not use a wok with a ring stand. Use flat bottom
