INSTRUCTIONS
*DO NOT touch heating elements,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces. These may be hot enough to
cause burns even though they are
dark in color.. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or flammable
material contact the elements or hot
surfaces until they have had time to
cool Other surfaces near the oven
vent openings, oven door and
window, and cooktop surfaces may
also be hot enough to cause burns,
•ONLY SOME kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking without
breaking due to the sudden tempera-
ture change.
°ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop elements. They will retain
heat after the range has been turned
off.
•NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
under the right rear element.
° COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the bottom
and large enough to cover the heating
area being used Undersized utensils
expose the heating element and may
result in direct contact or ignition of
clothing.
, ALWAYS USE drip bowls to prevent
wiring and component damage. Do
not use aluminum liners or foil in drip
bowls. Improper use may result in risk
of electrical shock or fire
• NEVER LEAVE surface units
unattended at high settings. Boi!overs
result in smoking or greasy spills
which could catch fire.
. ALWAYS TURN utensil handles

IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the governor of
California to publish a list of
substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn their cus-
tomers of potential exposure to
such substances, The fiberglass
insulation in a self-cleaning oven
will give off a very small amount
of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an
open door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
_CAUTION: Never line
the drip bowls with /
aluminum foil. Foil can
block the normal heat flow
and damage the range.
Always use cookware and
woks that are flat on the
bottom and the same size as
the cooking element being
used, Cookware should not
extend more than 1" beyond
the edge of the cooking
element.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS INFORMATION NOW!
Re sure everyone in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease
fire; it will only spread the
flames.
