WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Do not touch burners, areas near burners, the grill, griddle or grease drip-
pans – These may be hot enough to cause burns even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact these parts and surfaces until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other parts and surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns - among these areas are the grates, back
trim at the back of the cooktop, front edge, surfaces adjacent to the cooktop.
Use only dry potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.

Turn all burners off, then smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Do not heat unopened food containters such as cans – Build-up of
