This appliance is equipped with different
size surface elements. Select pans with flat
bottoms large enough to cover element.
Fitting pan size to element will improve
cooking efficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct con-
tact and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic,earthenware,orother glazeduten-
sils are suitable for cooktop or oven service
without breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature. Follow utensil manu-
facturer’s instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another
surface element. This reduces the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, or
spillage if pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.
GLASS-CERAMIC
COOKTOP
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.

Cleancooktop withcaution.Somecleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper
towel is used on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burn.
DEEP FAT FRYERS
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease pan or disposing of hot grease.

move pan.
OVEN
Use care when opening door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing
food.
For proper oven operation and perfor-
mance, do not block or obstruct oven vent
duct. When oven is in use, the vent and
surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns.
Always place oven racks in desired loca-
tions while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot element in oven.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not
clean door gasket. The gasket is essential
for a good seal. Do not rub, damage, or
move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner protective coat-
ing of any kind should be used in or around
any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils
to prevent excessive smoking, discolora-
tion of the oven racks or possible damage
to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially
greasy spills, before the clean cycle to pre-
vent smoking, flare-ups or flaming.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot
duringacleancycle. Therefore,avoid touch-
ing the cooktop, door, window or oven
vent during a clean cycle.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in a
steam burn. Do not let potholders touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth which could easily
touch hot heating elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is
completed.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the
surface unit or in the oven. Pressure build-
up in the container may cause container to
burstresulting inburns, injury ordamage to
