TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF
A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close-
fitting lid, baking sheet or other
metal tray, then turn off the gas
burner. Be careful to prevent
burns. If the flames do not go out
immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan—
you may be burned.
W H A T
N OT TO D O
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother the flame or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Never leave the appliance unat-
tended when in use.
Boilovers and
greasy spills may smoke or ignite.
Do not cover the burners and grates
with anything except properly
selected utensils. Decorative covers
should not be used.
Do not heat unopened food contain-
ers
such as baby food jars and cans.
Pressure buildup may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
Do not clean the cooktop while it is
still hot.
If using a damp sponge or
cloth, wait until the cooktop has
cooled sufficiently to prevent steam
burns. Also, some cleaners can
produce harmful or unpleasant
fumes if applied to hot surfaces.

page 15.
