Because of the automatic exhaust fan
feature, the following cautions must be
observed:

cooktop at a high setting. Accidental fires
from boilovers or spattering on the surface
unit could spread, especially if the exhaust
fan is operating.
b.
Do not allow grease and soil to build up
in the grease filter. Exhaust fan efficiency
will decrease and fire may result. Clean

tions on page 22.
C. Do not change the cooktop or.oven
lights without turning the power off at the
main power supply. Electrical shock may

spread the flame and cause personal in-
jury or property damage.
