heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the range, such as
the oven vent opening, the sur-
face near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door and
window, could also become hot
enough to cause burns.

*Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could
be burned.
*Use only dry pot holders. Moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holder touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
@Keep range vents unobstructed.
ADO not heat unopened contain-
ers. They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could
cause injury.
*Use only utensils approved for
oven use. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions,
especially when using glass
or plastic utensils.
*Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
aMake sure the reflector bowls
are in place during cooking. Cook-
ing without reflector bowls could
subject the wiring and components
underneath them to damage.
~DO not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners. Im-
proper installation of these liners
could result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
l
Select a pan with a flat bottom that
is about the same size as the sur-
face unit. If pan is smaller than the
surface unit, some of the heating
element will be exposed and could
result in the igniting of clothing or
pot holders. Correct pan size also
improves cooking efficiency.
Gheck to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without break-
ing due to the sudden change in
temperature.
@Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boilover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that
could ignite.
@Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials, and
spills due to bumping of the pan.
