N OT TO D O
If the rangetop is near a window, do
not use long curtains as a window
treatment, as they could blow over
the rangetop and create a fire
hazard.
Do not leave children alone or
unattended in the area where the
rangetop is in use. Never allow
children to sit or stand on the appli-
ance. Do not let children play with
the rangetop.
Do not store items of interest to
children above or at the back of the
rangetop, as they could climb on the
appliance to reach items and be
injured.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother the flame or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Never leave the appliance
unattended when in use. Boilovers
and greasy spills may smoke and/or
ignite.
Do not cover the burners and grates
with anything except properly
selected utensils. Decorative covers
should not be used.
Do not heat unopened food
containers, such as baby food jars
