IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Do Not Leave Children Alone
•
Children or pets should not
be left alone or unattended in
area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
•
Do not store items of interest
to children in cabinets above a
cooktop or on the blackguard
of a cooktop; children
climbing on the cooktop to
reach items could be seriously
injured.
When using the cooktop
•
Do not touch the burner
grates or the immediate
surrounding area. Surface
areas may become hot
enough to cause burns.
•
Do not allow pans to boil dry.
•
Never leave the cooktop
unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking,
and greasy spillovers may
ignite. A spill on a burner can
smother all or part of the
flame or hinder spark ignition.
If a boilover occurs, turn off
burner and check operation. If
burner is operating normally,
turn it back on.
•
During cooking, set the
burner control so that the
flame heats only the bottom
of the pan and does not
extend beyond the bottom of
the pan.
•
Take care that drafts like
those from fans or forced air
vents do not blow flammable
material toward the flames or
push the flames so that they
extend beyond the edges of
the pan.
Utensil Handles Should Be
Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units
•
To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent
surface units.
Use Only Dry Pot holders
•
Moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
Wear Proper Apparel
•
Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never
be worn while using the
appliance.
•
Never let clothing, pot
holders, or other flammable
materials come in contact
with hot burners or hot burner
grates.
Storage in or on Appliance
•
Flammable materials should
not be stored near surface
units.
Do Not Use Water on Grease
Fires
•
Smother fire or flame or use
dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
