WARNING
When properly cared for, your new
appliance has been designed to be
safe and reliable. Read all
instructions carefully before use.
These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons. When using
kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed,
including those in the following
pages.
Examine the appliance after unpacking it.
In the event of transport damage, do not
plug it in.
Fire Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper
or cloth to come in contact with a hot
surface element, burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop 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 cooktop unattended when
in use. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.
