9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use
the appliance, it is the responsibility of
the parents or legal guardians to ensure
that they are instructed in safe practices
by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean,
sit, or hang on any part of an appliance,
especially a door, warming drawer, or
storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over,
potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this
appliance unless closely supervised by
an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether
or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION
Items of interest to children should
not be stored in an appliance, in
cabinets above an appliance or on
the backsplash. Children climbing
on an appliance to reach items could
be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety
After a spill or boilover, turn off the
burner and allow the cooktop to cool.
Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring
or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating element
or burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface heating unit. This appliance
is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Proper
relationship of cookware to heating
element or burner will also improve
efficiency.
Always position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, burners, or the
edge of the cooktop. This reduces the
risk of fires, spills and burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does
not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces safety
risks.
