Fire Safety
Save these instructions.
Set the burner control so that the flame does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot surface element, 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 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 flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
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.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available,
nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the
appliance.
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:
‒
You know 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.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Gas Safety
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off
valve is located.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning gas cooking
fuel generates some by-products which are on the list
of substances which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.
