• Do not allow children to climb or play around the
cooktop.
WARNING:
NEVER use your
cooktop as a space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.
• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items placed in cabinets over the cooktop.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought into
contact with flame or hot surfaces and may cause
severe burns.
• Do not placed flammable materials on or near the
cooktop.
• Do not place or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not place cooking oils or other flammable
materials on or near the cooktop.
• Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on
or near the cooktop.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire
or property damage.
• Do not use water on grease fires. NEVER touch 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.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on this cooktop can
result in serious injuries and also cause damage to
the cooktop.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge
or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
• Do not block the airflow into or out of the cooktop. It
is necessary for proper combustion and ventilation.
• Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(continued)
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
WARNING
• If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still
flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to
the “OFF” position.
Do not leave the burners “ON” unattended.
• Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that
are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
burner grates. To avoid spills, make sure
cookware is large enough to contain the food
properly. This will save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
Since heavy spattering or spills left on a range
can ignite, use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boilovers can cause smoking and
greasy spills that may catch on fire.
• Always turn knobs to the LITE position when
igniting the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
• Control the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam.
Do not let pot holders come near open flames
when lifting cookware.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
pot holder.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed
for top-of-range cooking.
