IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT
WARNING
INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming
pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a
surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never leave the surface units unattended. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on
fire.
• Always be present at the range when cooking with oil or
grease. Surface cooking is an "attended" activity.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat
beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire
that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat
thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount
of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating
element. The use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
WARNING
RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface
of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have
been turned off.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be
scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,
rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire
on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If
the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
295D1344P040 / 29-6366 Rev.0
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven, Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop
service; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby surface units.
• When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
fan on.
• If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
unit is ON, the surface unit will turn back on as soon as
power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure
to turn all surface unit knobs to the OFF position may
result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop,
leading to serious injury or death.
Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it is turned off
may cause them to ignite also.
• Use CERAMA BRYTE
CERAMA BRYTE Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
®
Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light
goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on
a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: Sugar spills are an exception. They should be
scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a
scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for
detailed instructions.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the
cleaning cream label.
