H.This appliance has a polararized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
A.Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
B.Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when cooking flaming foods.
C.Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D.Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

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 immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
B.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.
C.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
D.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
