Important Safety Instructions
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician in accordance with local codes and the
provided installation instructions.
• Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• Do not leave children alone—children should not be left
alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part
of the cooktop.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the cooktop.
•
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not
be stored in cabinets above a cooktop—children climbing on
the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a
safe distance from your cooktop.
• Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot holders and other
linens a safe distance away from your cooktop.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a
safe distance away from your cooktop.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units and may cause
severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a
flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan
on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering
with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
