Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians
to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the
appliance by qualified persons.
DO NOT allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance. This can damage the appliance,
and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
DO NOT allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult.
Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in
the area where the appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
appliance is in use.
NEVER use any part of the rangetop for storage.
Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items may
melt or ignite. DO NOT hang articles from any part of the
appliance. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may
catch on fire.
If the rangetop is near a window, be certain the curtains do
not blow over or near the rangetop burners; they could
catch on fire.
ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop
and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available nearby,
highly visible, and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires,
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a rangetop fire. However, DO NOT reach through
fire to turn it off.
NEVER let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials come in contact with or too close to any burner or
burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result
in personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam. DO NOT use a
towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. DO NOT
let potholders touch hot burners or burner grates.

WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN
THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the
electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the
flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
Never pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels — a violent steam explosion will result.
Use an extinguisher only if:
You know you have a class ABC extinguisher
and you already know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
WARNING:
DO NOT store items of interest to children above or at
the back of the rangetop. If children should climb onto
the appliance to reach these items, they could be
seriously injured.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the rangetop burner.
