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. ProtectiveLiners—Donot use aluminum foil to line
ovenbottom.Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. GlazedCookingUtensils—Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils

riskof 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
isturnedinward, and does not extend over adjacent
surfaceunits.
GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES
1. DoNotCookonBroken Cooktop—If cooktop should
break,cleaningsolutionsandspillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
2. CleanCooktopWith Caution—If a wet sponge orcloth
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
carefultoavoidtoavoid steam burn. Some cleaners

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 ovencontrolto 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.

bracket with back edge on line drawn on floor and
side of bracket against cabinet.
• If range is not installed beside cabinet(s), position
range where it will be installed. Draw a line along
sideof range on floorfrom front to back.Remove
range. Place anti-tip bracket with back edge over
line drawn 31/2inches from back wall and side of
