WARNING
To reduce the risk of burn injuries during
cooktop use, observe the following:
Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
Children or pets should not be left alone or
unattended in an area where appliances are in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a range or on the backguard of a range;
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
When using the cooktop
Do not touch surface units or areas near
units . Surface areas may become hot enough
to cause burns. Surface elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch or let flammable
materials contact heating elements until they
have had time to cool.
When using the cooktop installed over oven
Do not touch heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven. Heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance
may become hot enough to cause burns –
among these surfaces are (identification of
surfaces – for example, oven vent openings
and surfaces near these openings, oven
doors, and windows of oven doors).
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the
center of the cooktop without extending over
any nearby surface units.
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof
glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop
use
