■ Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
■ Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.
■ User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
■ 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ 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. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors,
and windows of oven doors.
■ Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat
probes from contacting heating elements.
For self-cleaning ranges –
■ Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or move the gasket.
■ Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
■ Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
■ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood –
■ Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
■ When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For smart enabled ranges and ovens
■ Remote operation – This appliance is configurable to
allow remote operation at any time. Do not store any
flammable materials or temperature sensitive items
inside, on top or near surface units of the appliance.
