IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Cooking Safety
COOKING SAFETY
• To prevent accidents and achieve optimal ventilation, allow for sufficient space around
the cooking area.
• This appliance is designed for built-in household use only. Do not use outdoors.
• Wear proper apparel — loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, paper, or cloth to make contact with a hot element.
• Avoid preparing food in aluminum foil or plastic containers over the hot cooking zones.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line cooking zone, drip pan, or oven bottom. Improper use
of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Make sure drip pan is place at bottom of the oven – absence of the drip pan during
cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
• On the range top, utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent
surface units.
• Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the range top
surface since they can get hot.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry or empty.
• Never leave the range top unattended when in use. Never leave surface units unattended
at high heat settings – boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Compatible cookware will improve efficiency. Always use the proper pot and pan size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the hot element, which can
result in ignition of clothing or other items.
• Choose cookware with a flat bottom large enough to cover the unit heating surface.
