precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the range.
2. Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the range be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
3. Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could
be burned or injured, or a fire could start.
4. Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
range. They could be burned or injured.
5. Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They
could ignite if they touch a hot surface element or heating element and
you could be burned.
6. Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
7. Do not store flammable materials in or near the range. They could
explode or burn.
8. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on cooktop by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
9. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could
catch on fire.
10. Select a pan with a flat bottom that is about the same size as the
surface element. If pan is smaller than the surface element, some of the
heating element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of
clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves cooking
efficiency.
11. Never leave surface elements unattended at high heat settings.
A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
12. Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop.
Only certain types of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature.
13. Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface elements. This will
help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and
spills due to bumping of the pan.
