ELEMENTS OR iNTERiOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch
these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.

use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam=type extinguisher.
° When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed
to become too hot.
- Use Only Dry Pothoiders--Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let the pothotders touch hot heating surface units or
interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build up of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONSFORUSINGYOURCOOk'TOP
° Knowwhich knob controls each surface heating unit.
- Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
° Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Units--To reduce the risk of burns, ignitionof flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface unit.
° Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spiltovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
- Protective liners-- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of
the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
