Important Safety Instructions
• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and
cookware from the cooktop. Wet pot holders can
cause steam burns.
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before
lighting a burner.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
them from the valve stems.
• The cooktop should never be operated without the
knobs in place.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful
to pet birds. Relocate pet birds to a separate,
well-ventilated room during cooktop use.
• When deep fat frying:
◊ Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain
the desired volume of food without overflow caused
by the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat
fryer unattended.
◊ Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods
with high water content may cause spattering or
spilling of the hot fat.
◊ Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination
of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Use a deep
fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to
temperatures above the flash point.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against possible
electric shock hazards. If only a two-prong outlet is
available, it is the customer’s responsibility to have
it replaced with a dedicated, grounded three-prong
electrical outlet by a licensed electrician.
Under any circumstances:
• DO NOT cut or remove the third (ground) prong from
the power cord.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug.
• DO NOT use an extension cord.
• DO NOT use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.
• DO NOT plug the cooktop into an electrical outlet with
a ground fault interrupter (GFI).
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
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 dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊ You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
◊ The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
◊ The fire department is being called.
◊ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.)
to remain on the cooktop’s surfaces. The porcelain
finish may stain.
• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object
such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may
scratch the cooktop’s surfaces.
• Do not expose the knobs or trim rings to direct flame,
hot utensils or other sources of heat.
