SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
(CONTINUED)
For safety considerations, NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.
EN
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use aluminum foil to line the
surface burners. Doing so may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, step on, lean against, or sit on any part of the appliance. This
may result in damage to the appliance, or personal injury.

FIRE SAFETY

FIRE SAFETY
To reduce the risk of a fire, do not leave surface burners unattended at high settings. Boil-overs could
smother the flames and igniter, which would allow un-burned gas to escape into the room, which
could result in an explosion.
Always turn on the ventilation hood when cooking. Clean vent hood grease filters frequently -
grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filters.
Use the appropriate pan size for the burner being used. For safety considerations, adjust the flame
size so they do not travel up the sides of the pan.
Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids. NEVER store flammable liquids and materials in, above, or on the rangetop, or
near cooking surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air of the appliance.
ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
ALWAYS have an appropriate dry-chemical fire extinguisher nearby. Smother fire or flames using
the lid of the utensil (pot or pan), a cookie sheet or metal tray. Then shut off the burner. Use an
extinguisher, or baking soda if the fire is small and relatively contained. DO NOT USE WATER ON A
GREASE FIRE. Doing so may result in spreading the fire elsewhere.
NEVER pick up a flaming pan. You may spill the grease on yourself and be severely burned.
If accessible, turn off the ventilation hood during a fire, but do not reach through the flames to do
this.
In the event of personal clothing or hair catching fire, drop and roll immediately to smother the
flames. Seek medical attention if necessary.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the front of the
appliance. Some fabrics are highly flammable and could ignite.
IF THE FLAMES DO NOT GO OUT - EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
SAFETY DURING CLEANING SAFETY DURING CLEANING
Only clean the appliance as directed in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
Do not use a steam cleaner on any part of the rangetop. Steam could penetrate into electrical
components and cause a short circuit and/or shock hazard.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard objects such as brushes or scrapers, or sharp metal tools to clean.
Do not pour cold water onto hot surfaces of the appliance. The steam could cause serious burns.
The sudden temperature change could also distort the metal surfaces resulting in permanent damage.
Use only a small toothbrush to clean the burner ports and igniter of the surface burners. Do not
insert sharp objects or scratch the burner ports.
Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these
cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat.
