- Do not leave children alone--Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an

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

" DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, GRATES,

OR AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS. Surface burners may be hot even though the flames are not visible.

Areas near surface burners 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 the 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.

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to

heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in

carbon monoxide poisoning.

= 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 Pot holders--Moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holders touch the flame

or burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers-- Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

= Know which 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.

Use proper pan size--This appliance is equipped

with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having fiat bottom large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils

will expose a portion of the surface burner to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper

relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also

- 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.

hood manufacturer's instructionsfor cleaning.

- Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and

Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners--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 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 surface burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum

foil may interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the cooktop or personal injury

may result.

o Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of

glass, 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. If

a burner 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 if the

hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and

cause combustion problems.

Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed

gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion

and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide

levels above allowable current standards. This

can be hazardous to your health.
