Jenn-Air 8111P533-60 Cooktop User Manual

Many aerosol-type spray cans are
EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and
may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat.
Keep plastics away from parts of the
appliance that may become warm or
hot. Do not leave plastic items on the
cooktop as they may melt or soften if
left too close to a lighted surface
burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
hot surface burners, cabinet storage
should not be provided directly above a
unit. If storage is provided, it should be
limited to items which are used
infrequently and which are safely stored
in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe
for some items, such as volatile liquids,
cleaners or aerosol sprays.
A faint gas odor may indicate a gas
leak. If a gas odor is detected, shut off
the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your
installer or local gas company to have
the possible leak checked. Never use a
match or other flame to locate a gas
leak.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop,
and areas facing the cooktop.
NEVER use aluminum foil to line burner
spillover area.
Restriction of normal air
flow may result in unsafe operation.
COOKING SAFETY
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface
burner. Make sure the correct burner is
turned on and that the burner has
ignited. When cooking is completed, turn
burner off before removing pan to
prevent exposure to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so
that it does not extend beyond the
bottom edge of the pan. An excessive
flame is hazardous, wastes energy and
may damage the appliance, pan or
cabinets above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking
operation unattended especially when
using a high heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up
greasy spills as soon as possible. Do not
use high heat for extended cooking
operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner. Pressure build-up
may cause container to burst resulting in
serious personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because
they can trail across hot surface burners
and ignite or get caught on appliance
parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
NEVER store items of interest to
children in cabinets above an appli-
ance. Children climbing on the
appliance to reach items could be
seriously injured.
IN CASE OF FIRE
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood
to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish
flame then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.
Smother fire or flame in a pan with a
lid or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher to smother fire or
flame.
CHILD SAFETY
CAUTION
TO PREVENT FIRE OR
SMOKE DAMAGE
Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors and materi-
als.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over
burners.
CAUTION
NEVER leave any items on the
cooktop. The hot air may ignite
flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which
may cause them to burst.
NEVER leave children alone or
unsupervised near the appliance when
it is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could
be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the
appliance and utensils on it can be hot.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children
should be taught that an appliance is
not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other
parts of the unit.
ABOUT YOUR
APPLIANCE
NEVER use appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm a room to prevent
potential hazard to the user and
damage to the appliance. Also, do not
use the cooktop as a storage area for
food or cooking utensils.
