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
This will avoid permanent damage to
the surface.
