Cooking Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Areas near surface burners or throughout the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials touch, these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Smother grease fires with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical, or foam-type
extinguisher. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
• You have a Class A, B, or C extinguisher and you know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it is started.
• The fire department is being/has been called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
• Use only dry potholders and oven mitts. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements, flames, or
burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on this appliance can result in serious injuries and also
damage the appliance.
WARNING
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating.
• Know which knob controls which surface burner. Visually check that the burner has lit.
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pot/pan.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.
Exhaust fan ventilation range hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow
grease to accumulate on hoods or filters. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.
• When cooking food, turn the hood fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning and operation.
