IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in
manual. For example, never use the appliance for
heating the room. Never use the appliance for storage.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot burner or grate. Do not allow
pans to boil dry.
If the grill is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be
certain that flammable materials such as window coverings
do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They
could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the grill unattended when in use. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boil overs
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium setting.
2. Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
3. Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll
immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking
soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not
push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PRE-
VENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVAC-
UATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN—You may be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels—a
violent steam explosion will result.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if.
A. You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
B. The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
C. The fire department is being called.
D. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
E. Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a grill top fire. However, do not reach through fire
to turn it off.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS
NEAR UNITS
—Surface units may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may be-
come hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the grill and areas facing the grill.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Use high heat settings on the grill only when necessary. To
avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more
than a low–medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing
extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
CAUTION:
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not
touch any of the burners when the grill is in use.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it
is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians
to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance. This can damage the appliance
and potentially cause severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is
in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity,
whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appli-
ance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash.
Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seri-
ously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some clean-
ers produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.
Wet cloth or sponges can case burns from steam.
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and allow the
grill to cool. Clean around the burner and burner ports.
After cleaning, check for proper operation.
