Safety
English 4
• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.
• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until
gas dissipates before using the appliance.
• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for
leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak
and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" pro-
cedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON
position and this must be done by a qualified service technician.
• For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.
• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until
gas dissipates before using the appliance.
Fire Safety • Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,
especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom
of the pan.
• If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door
closed. Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit
breaker box.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
• If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flam-
mable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the
burners or elements. They could catch on fire.
• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers may ignite.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immedi-
ately to extinguish flames.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the
flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.
WARNING:
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing
food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe').
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
