IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
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 lightbulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent lightbulb according to local, state and federal codes.

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 may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.
_; Never leave file smthce 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,
eartlmnware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop sersice; others m W
break because of tile sudden change in
temperature.
iJ_i:;To minimize tire possibility of burns,
ignition offlammable mamrials and
spillage, tile hmldle of a container shouM
be turned towar, l the center of tile range
without extending over neafl)y sm_ace uniLs.
_ Always mm fire stnlace units offbefore
removing cookware.
iSi:;When preparing flaming foods under dm
hood, turn tire fan on.

glass surface of tile cooktop will retain heat
after tile controls have been turned off.
iJhi:_Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or
medium high heat settings.
_ Foods far flying should be as d_T as
possible. Fr_)st on fiozen foods or moisture
on flesh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over tile sides of tile pan.
iJ_i:_Use little fat far effective shallow or deep
fat flTing. Filling tire pan too full offat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
iJ_i:;Ira combination of oils or fats will be used
in flying, stir together 1)efbre heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
iJ_i:_Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it beats.
iJ_i:;Use a deep fat flmrmometer whenever
