l
Do not operate the cooktop if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
l
Do not use the cooktop for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be burned or
injured, or a fire could start.
’ Use the cooktop only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
l
Do not wear loose or hanging garments when
using the cooktop. They could ignite if they
touch a hot surface burner and you could be
burned.
l
Do not touch surface burners or areas near
surface burners. Areas near surface burners
become hot enough to cause burns. During
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface burners
or areas near surface burners until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid boilovers
and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers
left on a cooktop can ignite and burn you. Pan
size is especially important in deep fat frying.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not over other
surface burners. This will help reduce the
chance of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to bumping of the
pan.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on surface burners may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch
surface burners. Do not use a towel or bulky
cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are
safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain
types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature.
l
Do not use decorative covers or trivets over
the surface burners.
l
Do not heat unopened containers. They could
explode. The hot contents could cause burns
and container particles could cause injury.
l
Grease is flammable and should be handled
carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to
handle it. Do not allow grease to collect
around cooktop. Wipe spillovers immediately.
l
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on
cooktop by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings. A boilover could result and
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
l
Make sure surface burners are off when
you
are finished, and when you are not watching.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or near
the cooktop. They could explode or burn.
l
Do not store things children might want above
the cooktop. Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on it.
. Do not leave children alone or unattended in
area where the cooktop is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the cooktop. They could be burned or
injured.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look for a
gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.
l
Know where your main gas shut off valve is
located.
l
Clean your cooktop regularly. See care and
cleaning instructions in this manual.
l
Be sure all cooktop parts are cool before
cleaning.
l
Do not repair or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
l
Disconnect the electrical supply before
servicing the cooktop.
