are
based
on
safety
considerations and must be strictly followed to reduce the
potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Be sure appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
Locate and mark circuit breaker or fuse. Never replace a
blown fuse or reset a circuit breaker until you know what
caused the problem. Always replace a blown fuse with one
of the correct amperage, do not use a substitute.
To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or
damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or
replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this book. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified installer or servicer. Always disconnect
power to unit
before
any servicing by tripping circuit breaker
to the OFF position or removing the fuse.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SMOKE DAMAGE
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance
before operating it.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable materials,
vapors and liquids near surface units or in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard
or explosion.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over
surface elements.
Do not leave any items on the cooktop as heat from the
element may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may cause them to
burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. Do
not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or
soften if left too close to a surface element.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
elements, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be limited
to items which are used infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
IN CASE OF FIRE
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading
the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.
Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking soda
to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a grease fire.
If fire is in a pan on the surface element, cover pan. Never
attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan.
CHILD SAFETY
Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils on
it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool
in a safe place, out of reach of
small children. Children should be
taught that an appliance is not a
toy.
Children
should
not
be
allowed to play with controls or
other parts of the unit.
CAUTION:
Do not store items of
interest to children in cabinets
above
an
appliance.
Children
climbing on the appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
