Safety Practices for Servicer
Safe and satisfactory operation of electric cooktops
depend upon its design and proper installation.
Servicing
Listed below are some general precautions and safety
practices which should be followed in order to protect the
service technician and consumer during service and after
service has been completed.
1.
Check range when service is complete
—After
servicing, make visual checks on electrical
connection. Inform consumer of the condition of range
before leaving.
2.
Adhere to all local regulations and codes when
performing service.
Before Installing
Installing the electric cooktop in compliance with local
electrical building codes results in proper operation and
consumer satisfaction with the cooktop.
Receiving Cooktop
Inspect cooktop thoroughly at time of delivery.
Immediately report any visible damage to carrier. Damage
not discovered until after accepting delivery can still be
claimed by using a concealed damage report form,
available from the carrier's agent.
All shipments, i.e., complete cooktop or parts, are
shipped at the buyer's risk. Maytag's responsibility ends
when the consignment is accepted by the carrier in
"good order." Maytag supports damage claims by
supplying invoices, bills of laden, and other
documentation as needed. Providing this assistance,
however, does not imply any responsibility for settling
claims. Do not deduct claims for loss or damage from the
invoice and do not withhold payment pending adjustment
of claims. Do not return any units or parts for credit
without written consent.
Unpacking
• Open the carton and slide cooktop out of packing.
• Remove all literature packed with the cooktop and
place cooktop onto a protective flat surface.
• Avoid countertop damage by NOT sliding cooktop
across the countertop.

above cooktop. Children may climb on cooktop to
reach these items and become seriously injured.
