near surface units. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the cooktop. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

, DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS/UNIT, GRATES OR AREAS NEAR THESE

BURNERS/UNIT. Surface burners/unit may be hot even though flames are not visible/unit is dark in color. Areas near surface burners/unit may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and

surfaces facing the cooktop.

+Wear Proper Apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while

using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

+Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use

baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

+When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to

become too hot.

+Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements, the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

+Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of pressure may cause container

to burst and result in injury.

Safety

• Knowwhich knob controls each surface burner. Always turn the knob to the LITE position

when igniting the burners. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

. Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming

food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners/Unit --To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage

due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners/Unit Unattended at High Heat Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop, use aluminum

foil only to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types ofglass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. Ifa burner/unit is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur ifthe hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will blocked from the burner/unit and cause combustion problems.
