Do not repair or replace any part of
the rangetop unless specifically
recommended in literature accompa-
nying this appliance. All service
should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Do not obstruct the flow of air. Your
kitchen must have an adequate
supply of fresh air to ensure proper
combustion and ventilation.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any
part of the rangetop.
Never use the rangetop to warm or
heat the room.
Do not block or obstruct the holes
in the rangetop below the control
knobs. Blocking these holes may
affect burner operation and may
result in a hazard.
When using the rangetop, do not
touch the grates, burner caps,
burner bases or any other parts in
proximity to the flame. These
components may be hot enough to
cause burns.

Always turn panhandles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent
work areas, burners or the edge of
the rangetop.
Always check the positions of the
control knobs to make certain the
rangetop is off when you are
finished cooking.
Always light each burner prior to
placing a pan on the burner grate.
Also, turn the control knob to the
OFF position before removing a pan
from the burner grate.
Keep any ventilation filters clean to
avoid grease fires.
Always set pans gently onto the
grates and center them so that they
are well balanced.
Start the ventilation hood approxi-
mately five minutes before cooking.
This establishes an air curtain and
improves the capture of vapor and
moisture.
Clean only those parts listed in this
book.
NEVER use this appliance as a
space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the rangetop.
