SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Readbeforeoperalingyourcooktop

All appliances -- regardless of the manufacturer-- have the potential through improper orcareless use to create safety

problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should be observed:

1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified technician.

2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.

3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in

area where appliance is in use. They should never

be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

appliance.

4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

appliance.

5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in this manual.
All other servicing should be referred to an

authorized Service Contractor.

6. Flammable materials should not be stored in an

oven or near surface units.

7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or

flameoruse dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders

onhot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

9. Use properpan size. Many appliances are equipped

with one or more surface units of different size.

Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface unit heating element. The use
of undersized cookware will expose a portion of
the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of

cookware to heating element wilt also improve

efficiency and performance.

10. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings. Boil over causes smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite.

11. Glazed cookware -- only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware orother glazed
cookpots are suitable for cooktop surface without
breaking due to the sudden change intemperature.
Use only such cookware as you know has been

approved for this purpose.

12. Cookware handles should be turned inward and
not extend over adjacent surface heating elements

to avoid bums, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the

cookware.

13. CAUTION -- Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above cooktop - children

climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be
seriously injured.

14. Do not soak orimmerse removable heating elements
in water.

15. Do not touch surface units or areas near units.
Surface units or heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

units may become hot enough to cause bums.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact these areas

until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces may become hot enough to cause bums -

-among these surfaces are the cooktop.

16. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use
procedures recommended.

17. Do not cook on glass-ceramic cooking surface if
the cooktop is broken. Cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and

create a shock hazard. Contact an authorized
Service Contractor.

18. Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution. If wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area, be careful to avoid steam bums.

Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

19. Do not operate with damaged cooking element
after any product malfunction until proper repair

has been made.

20. Keep all switches "Off" when unit is not in use.

21. On conventional element cooktops make sure that
drip pans are in place. Absence of these pans
during cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.

22. Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip
pans or grill basin. Installation of these liners may

result in electric shock or fire hazard.

23. This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any

devices or accessories that are not specifically

recommended in this manual. Do not use eyelid

covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-
on convection systems. The use of devices or
accessories that are not expressly recommended in
this manual can create serious safety hazards,

result inperformance problems, andreduce the life
of the components of the appliance.

nfilationSystem

The built-in ventilation system removes cooking va-

pors, odors and smoke from foods prepared on the
cooktop, grill and grill accessories. Regular use of this

system will insure a more comfortable and less humid
kitchen which is free ofheavy cooking odors and fumes

that normally create a frequent need for cleaning and

redecorating.

Using the Ventilation System

• To operate the ventilation system manually, turn
the fan control to ON.

• The ventilation systemwill operateautomatically
when the grill element is in use,

• The fan can be used to remove strong odors from

the kitchen as when chopping onions near the fan.

• Besides using the ventilation system to remove

cooking vapors and fumes, it can be used to cool

baked pies or cakes. To cool an item, set it on the
air grille and laarnon the fan. The air being pulled

over the item will quickly cool it. Be careful not to
cover the entire air grille.

Cleaning the Ventilation System

Air Grille

The air grille lifts off easily. "Wipeclean orwash in sink
with mild household detergents. It may be cleaned in

the dishwasher.

Filter

Turn offventilation system before
removing. The filteris apermanent
type and should be cleaned when

soiled. Clean in sink with warm

water and liquid dishwashing de-
tergent or in the dishwasher.

Important: DO NOT OPERATE SYSTEM WITH-
OUT FILTER.

Filter should always be placed at an angle. As you face
the front of the cooktop, the top of the filter should rest
against the right side of the vent opening and the

bottom of the filter should rest against the left side of
the ventilation chamber near the bottom.

Ventilation Chamber

This area, which houses the filter, should be cleaned in

the event of spills or whenever it becomes coated with

a film of grease. It may be cleaned with paper towel,
damp cloth, or sponge and mild household detergent or

cleanser.

DuclJngInformation

The ventilation system is designed to capture both
cooking fumes andsmokewhile grilling. Ifthe system
does not, these are some ducting installation situations

to check:

6" diameter round or 3 ¼" x 10" rectangular duct-
ing should be used. Note: 5" diameter round

ducting may be used if the duct length is 10' or less.

O

No more than three 90° elbows should be used.
Distance between elbows should be at least 18".

• Recommended Kenmore wall cap should be used.

Make sure damper moves freely when ventilation
system is operating.

• There should be a minimum clearance of 6" for
cooktop installed near a side wall.

If there is not an obvious improper installation, there
may be a concealed problem such as a pinched joint,
obstruction in the pipe, etc. Installation is the respon-

sibility of the installer and questions should be ad-

dressed first by the installer. The installer should very

carefully check the ducting installation instructions.
