General Safety Precautions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your cooktop, follow basic safety

_recautions, including the following:

Important Safety Instructions

23. Use cookware only for tts _ntended purpose. Check the manufacture's recommendations before use to determine tf
a utensil is suitable for use on a cooktop. Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use

on a cooktop. Personal injury or damage may result from the improper use of cookware.

24. Select cookware carefully. Use utensds of the proper size, material and construction for the particular type of
cooking being done. Utensils need to be large enough to contain the desired quantity of food without boil-overs or

spdl-overs. Choose pans with easy to hold handles that will stay cool whde cooking. Do not use utensils with loose

handles. Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift safely.

25. Use extreme cautton if adding water to food on a hot cooktop. The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.

26. Use only dry pot holders when remowng food and cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot holders can cause
steam burns.

27. Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighttng a burner.

28. Turn the knobs to the OFF posit_on prior to removing them from the valve stems.

29. The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs and trim
rings in place.

30. Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove
birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.

31. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for

your protection against possible electric shock hazards. It must be

plugged into a dedicated, grounded receptacle. Where a standard

two-prong wall receptacle Is encountered, it is the personal respon-
slblhty and obhgation of the customer to have it replaced with a
dedicated, properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. Do not

under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong

from the power cord. Do not use an adapter plug. Do not use an

extenston cord. Do not use a power cord that _sfrayed or damaged.

The use of a ground fault interrupter (GFI) is not recommended.

32. When deep fat frying:

Be certain that the pan fs large enough to contatn the destred volume of food without overflow caused by the
bubbhng of the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended.

Avoid frying motst or frost-covered foods. Foods with high water content may cause spattenng or spilhng of the

hot fat.
Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combtnat_on of oils and fats prior to applytng heat. Utilize a deep fat frying

thermometer to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash potnt.

33. TO

REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:

a.

SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL
TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out _mmediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE

DEPARTMENT.

b. NEVER PICK UPA FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
