Storage in or on Appliance Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
This appliance is not intended for storage. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires Smother fire or
flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at home using a 3D printer).
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 other bulky cloth.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS Surface units 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 contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the coil elements, the cooktop, and surfaces facing the cooktop.
Use Proper Pan Size This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Protective Liners Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
Glazed Cooking Utensils Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
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 burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Use Care When Opening Door Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. Placement of Oven Racks Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
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 an oven become hot enough to cause burns.
