All Appliances
1. Proper Installation. Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2. Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating
the Room.
3. Do Not Leave Children Alone. Children should not
be alone or unattended in the area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Appropriate Apparel. Loose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using
appliance.
5. User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
6. Storage in or on Appliance. Flammable materials
should not be stored on surface units.
7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. Smother fire
or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Surface Cooking Units
1. Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different size.
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface burner. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also
improve efficiency.
2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilover
causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
3. Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line
drip bowls. Improper installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of
glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to sudden change in temperature.
5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil. Position utensil handle so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
units.
