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 smafl 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. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

ORADIANTSURFACEUNITS
Use proper pan size--select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiencg
Never leave fire surPace units unattended
at higil heat setfing:s. Boilox.ers cause
smoking and greasy spillo_.ers that m W
catch on fire.
Only certain types of glass, gtassA:eramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers
are suitable for cooktop service; others
m W break because of the sudden chang.e
in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of bums,
ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, the handle of a container
should be ummd toward rim cenmr of
the rang.e without exmnding over nearby
surPace units.
Always mm the surface units off before
removing cookware.
When preparing flaming fbods under
rite hood, unn the fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The
glass surPace of the cooktop will retain heat
after rite conuols have been turned off:
Kee I) an eye on foods being flied at high
or medium higil heat setting:s.
Foods for flTing should be as &T as
possible. Frost on flozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and ox.er the sides of the pan.
Use litde tilt for eflecfive shallow or deep
tht flTing. Filling the pan too fltll of Pat
can cause spillovers when food is added.
If a combination of oils or Pats will be used
in fEving, stir tog.ether before heating, or
as Pats melt slowly.
Always heat fi_t slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep fat thermomemr whenex.er
possible to prex.ent ox.eflteafing tilt beyond
rite smoking point.
Avoid scratching the glass cookmp.
The cooktop can be scratched with imms
such as sharp instruments, fing_s or oflter
jewelry, and fix.ets on clothing.
Do not operate rim radiant surface units if
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning
solution m W penetrate a broken cooktop
and cream a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified mchnician immediamly
should your glass cooktop become broken.
Ne_.er use the glass cooktop surPace as
a cutting board.
Do not place or store items that can melt
or catch fire on the glass cooktop, ex.en
when it is not being used.
Be careflfl when placing spoons or other
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface
when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause b/tlllS.
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
spong.e or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot surPace unit, be cat.efltl to ax_id
steam bums. Some cleaners can produce
noxious flnnes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE."_A:erecommend that you ax_id
wiping any surface unit areas until they
have cooled and the indicator light has
g_ne off'. Sugar q)ills at.e the exception
to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass
cooktop section.
When the cooktop is cool, use only rite
recommended cleaning cream to clean
rite cooktop.
To avoid possible damag.e to the cooking
Silt'Pace, do not apply cleaning cream to
the glass surface when it is hot.
After cleaning, use a dUcloth or paper
