N ASE OF IRE
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to
avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame
then turn on hood to remove smoke and
odor.
• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid
or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
C S
HILD AFETY
NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near the appliance when it is in use or
is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could be
injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance
and utensils on it can be hot. Let hot utensils
cool in a safe place, out of reach of small
children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children should not
be allowed to play with controls or other
parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of in-
terest to children in cabinets above an
appliance. Children climbing on the appli-
ance to reach items could be seriously
injured.

A
PPLIANCE
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room to prevent potential
hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop as
a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent
or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the
burner prevents proper performance and
increases carbon monoxide emission to
unsafe levels.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop,
and areas facing the cooktop.
NEVER use aluminum foil to line burner
spillover area. Restriction of normal air flow
may result in unsafe operation.
C S
OOKING AFETY
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off be-
fore removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that
it does not extend beyond the bottom edge
of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous,
wastes energy and may damage the appli-
ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills
as soon as possible. Do not use high heat for
extended cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner. Pressure build-up may
cause container to burst resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or damage to the appli-
ance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumu-
lating on hood or filter. When flaming
foods under the hood turn the fan on.
2
NEVER wear garments made of flammable
material or loose fitting or long-sleeved
apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite
or catch utensil handles.
U S
TENSIL AFETY
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that
are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using
unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-
handled pans. Also avoid using pans, espe-
cially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that
are heavy to move when filled with food may
also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is
particularly important in deep fat frying. Be
sure pan will accommodate the volume of
food that is to be added as well as the bubble
action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend
handles over adjacent surface burners. Al-
ways turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by small
children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage
the utensil and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop usage without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer's instructions when using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe
performance using conventional cookware.
Do not use any devices or accessories that
are not specifically recommended in this
guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the
surface units or stovetop grills. The use of
devices or accessories that are not ex-
pressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in per-
formance problems, and reduce the life of
the components of the appliance.
