flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.
• Do not use water, including wet dish cloths or towels,

it started.

Use and Care Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, observe the following:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer (800-735-4328).
b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock service
panel. This will prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service panel
cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag to the service
panel.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires,
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to
turn it off.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of a grease fire:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low
or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
c) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element or
gas burner.
