WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
■
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician
in accordance with local codes and the
provided installation instructions.
■
Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
■
Do not leave children alone—children
should not be left alone or unattended
in an area where an appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the appliance.
■
Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the cooktop.
■
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the cooktop.
■
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 combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your cooktop.
■
Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
away from your cooktop.
■
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your cooktop.
■
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units
and may cause severe burns.
■
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch
fire on a hot surface unit.
■
For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering the pan completely with
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
■
Flaming grease outside a pan can be
put out by covering with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
