9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 flammable 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.
•
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.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
• 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:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be
burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1) You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
2) The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
3) The fire department is being called.
4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
5) Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the oven.
• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Burn Prevention
• 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, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
CAUTION:
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do
not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
Child Safety
• When children become old enough to use the
appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or
legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance. This can damage the
appliance and potentially cause severe injury.
• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
