 Always disconnect power to appliance before any
type of servicing.
 Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or
detergents on this appliance. They may cause
permanent damage to the surface.
 When cooking, set the burner controls so that the
flame heats only the bottom of the utensil and does
not overlap at the sides of the utensil.
 Utensils (pots and pans) that conduct heat slowly, i.e.
glass pots, should be used in conjunction with
burner flames at a low or medium setting.

cool down before touching them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until cool.

range. Do not turn handles towards the area where
they are easily burned. Handles should not extend
over the adjacent burners.
 Use the range only for cooking tasks as outlined in
this manual. When using the range, do not touch the
grates, burner caps, burner bases, or any other
parts in proximity to the flame. These components
may be hot enough to cause burns.

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam
