Important Safety Information

All Appliances

1. Proper Installation. Be sure your appliance is

properly installed and grounded by a qualified

technician.

2. Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating

the Room.

3. Do Not Leave Children Alone. Children should not

be alone or unattended in the area where the

appliance is in use. They should never be allowed

to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4. Wear Appropriate Apparel. Loose fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using

appliance.

5. User Servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of

the appliance unless specifically recommended in

the manual. All other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

6. Storage in or on Appliance. Flammable materials

should not be stored on surface units.

7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. Smother fire

or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

8. Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a

towel or other bulky cloth.

Surface Cooking Units

1. Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface units of different size.

Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to

cover the surface burner. The use of undersized

utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also

improve efficiency.

2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilover

causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may

ignite.

3. Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line

drip bowls. Improper installation of these liners may

result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

4. Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of

glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils

are suitable for cooktop service without breaking

due to sudden change in temperature.

5. Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not

Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. Reduce the

risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the

utensil. Position utensil handle so that it is turned

inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface

units.

Delayed Ignition

Surface Burners

Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does

not ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF

position and follow directions in “Placing Grates and

Burner Caps” and “Before Calling for Service” section.

Try burner again. If burner still does not ignite in 4

seconds, contact an authorized servicer.

VENTILATION HOODS

1. Clean Vents Frequently. Grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on vent or filter.

2. When flaming foods, turn fan on.

IN CASE OF FIRE

Fires can occur as a result of overcooking or excessive

grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed

as follows:

Surface Burner Fire

1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking

soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not

water. Not salt. Not flour.

2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface

controls to

OFF

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical

mixtures may interact with objectionable or even

hazardous results.

• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They

may stick and melt.

• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause

damage to cooking surface and pan.

• Do not use cooktop surface as a cutting board.
