IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
_Never cover any slots, holes, or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire oven rack with materials, such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
Do not heat unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
Do not use water or flour on
grease fires. Cover the fire with a pan lid, use
baking soda, or use a dry chemical or foam
type extinguisher.
Wear proper apparel when
cooking. Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using this appli-
ance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials come into contact with hot
surfaces.
Use dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam.Do not let potholders
touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or
other bulky cloths.
Important: The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires
the governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harms, and it
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposures to such substances.
Do not touch heating elements or
interior surfaces of oven. Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of ovens become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough cause burns such as the oven door,
windows, and the oven vent.

before using the oven. Destroy the carton
and plastic bags after unpacking the oven.
Never allow children to play with packaging
material.

cally recommended in the manuals. All
other servicing should be done only by a

tronic control. When using this appliance
for the first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for an extended period
of time, be sure the appliance has been in

turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select cookware with
flat bottoms that match the surface unit

may result in the ignition of clothing or
other items. Using the proper cookware on
the cooking zone will improve efficiency.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spills due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the

Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Save these instructions for future reference.
