precautions:
General Safety
• This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. See the
Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
• Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances
are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• When children become old enough to use the cooktop, they must be
instructed in safe practices.
• Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop .
• Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
• In the event that personal clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
• Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact
with hot burners or hot burner grates.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface.
• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
• Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop.
• If the cooktop is near a window, be certain that curtains or any other window
covering do not blow over or near the burners; they could catch on fire.
• When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate sur-
rounding area.
• Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause burns from steam.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking,
and greasy spillovers may ignite.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop.
• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never
be worn while cooking.
• Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.
• Leave the hood ventilator on when flambéing food.
• Smother flames from a grease fire with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner. Be careful to prevent burns. If
the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels on grease fires. A violent
steam explosion may result.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.
