The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Governor of Califomb to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury, ff your model has a surface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

unit by covering tile pan completely with a
x_ll4itting lid, cookie sheet or flat u W. Use
a multi-purpose (hy chemical or f{mm-type
fire exting_fisher.
Flaming g_ease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it wifll baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose (hy
chemical or fkmm-type fire exfing_fisher.
Flame in tile oven can be smodmred
completely by dosing die oven door and

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose aportion of the surface unit to direct
contact and mag result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiencg
Never leave file smtace units unattended at
high heat settings, l_ilovers cause smoking
and gTeasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable fk)rcooktop sets'ice; others m W
break because of the sudden change in
temperature.
To minimize tim possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the hmldle of a conlainer shouM
be turned towaM the center of the range
without extending over neafl)y sm_a(:e uniLs.
Always turn tim snrlace units offbefk_re
removing cookware.
When preparing flaming fbods under dm
hood, turn the fan on.
Use care when touching d3e cooktop. Tim
glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat
after the controls have been turned off.
Keep an eye on f(_odsbeing fried at high or
medium high heat settings.
Foods f_)rflying should be as (hT as
possible. Fr_)st on frozen fi.)ods or moisture
on flesh f()ods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat f{)r effective shallow or deep
fat flTing. Filling tim pan too full offat can
cause spillovers when f(_od is added.
Ira combination of oils or fats will be used
in flying, stir together 1)ef{)r_ heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it beats.
Use a deep fat flmrmometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
tim smoking point.
Avoid scratching tim glass cooktop. The
cooktop can be scratched with items such
as sharp instalments, rings or other
,jewehy, and rivets on clothing.
Do not operate tim radiant smtace units if
tim glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop
and create a risk of elecuical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately
shouM }_ur glass cooktop become broken.
Never use dm glasscooktop smtace asa
cutting boaM.
Do not place or store items flint can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooku)p, even when
it is not being used.
Be carefl|l when placing spoons or other
sti_Ting utensils on ,glass cooktop smtace
when it is in use. They may become hot and
could cause bums.
Clean dm cooku)p widl caution. Ifa wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot smiace unit, be car_ful to avoid steam
bums. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied m a hot smtace.
NOTE,"We recommend flint you avoid
wiping any smtace unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicau)r light has
gone ore Sugar spills are the exception to
this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only tim
recommended cleaning cream to dean
