• Improper cookware may break
due to sudden changes in
temperature. Check the
cookware manufacturer’s
recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Do not place metallic objects
such as knives, forks, spoons and
lids on the cooktop surface since
they can become hot.
• Never leave surface elements
unattended. Boil-overs may cause
smoking and greasy spills that
may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may
damage the cooktop
• When you are flaming foods
under a ventilating hood, turn on
the fan.
Important instructions for glass and
ceramic cooktops
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If
a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleaners can produce harmful fumes
if applied to a hot surface. Avoid
scratching the cooktop glass with
sharp objects.
Important instructions for using
your oven
• Protective liners—Do not use
aluminum foil, aftermarket oven
liners, or any other materials or
devices to line oven bottom, oven
racks, or any other part of the
appliance. Only use aluminum as
recommended for baking, such as
lining cookware or as a cover
placed on food. Any other use of
protective liners or aluminum foil
may result in a risk of electric
shock, fire or a short circuit.
• Take care when opening oven
door, lower oven door, or
warmer drawer (some models).
Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape
before you remove food or place
it back in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts
unobstructed. Touching surfaces in
this area when the oven is on may
cause severe burns. Do not place
plastic or heat-sensitive items on
or near the oven vent. These items
can melt or ignite.
• Placement of oven racks - Always
place oven racks in required
position while the oven is cool. If a
rack has to be moved while the
oven is hot, do not let the
potholder come into contact with
a hot burner or element in oven.
Use potholders and grasp the
