CAUTION:
Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets above a
cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop
to reach items could be seriously injured.
■
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your cooktop.
■
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your cooktop.
■
Never wear loose fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items stored
in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
■
Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the cooktop.
■
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your cooktop.

a cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate near
the cooktop.
■
Do not operate the burner without all
burner parts in place.

Do not place hot cookware on the glass
cooktop (on some models). This could

or volatile cleaning fluids.

Do not clean the cooktop when the
appliance is in use.
■
Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.

■
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner
by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
