Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over
burners.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot surface may
ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed
containers which may cause them to burst.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Child 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 or beside 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 potholders 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.
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 in
and 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.
NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance
to reach items could be seriously injured.
CAUTION
WARNING
Do not use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, and areas facing the
cooktop.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil may also
trap heat causing a fire hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by
blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to
the burners and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
