MPORTANT
To Prevent Fire or
Smoke Damage
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may cause them
to burst.
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics
away from parts of the appliance that may become
warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop
as they may melt or soften if left too close to a lighted
surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited
to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is
detected, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call
your installer or local gas company to have the possible
leak checked. Never use a match or other flame to
locate a gas leak.
In Case of Fire
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.

NSTRUCTIONS

Child Safety

NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance. Children climbing on the
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised 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.
About Your Appliance
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages with materi-
als such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Alumi-
num foil may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventila-
tion air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing
so restricts air to the burners and may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Do not use the cooktop as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, and areas
facing the cooktop.

Cooking Safety

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 before 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 appliance, pan or cabinets above the
appliance.
