To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the

• appliance before operating it.

• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.

• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains

rom blowing over burners.

• NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst.

• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface element.

• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

• DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

Important notice regarding pet birds: NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms

where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

C A U T I O N

Warnings (cont.)

C A U T I O N

DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to r each items could be seriously injured.

W A R N I N G

BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

To avoid risk of injury or death, make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so

can result in burns or electrical shock.

C A U T I O N

DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible damage to the cookware and ceramic glass.

Before Using Cooktop

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process. Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.

Cookware

• Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. Any and all cookware, including Viking cookware, is suitable for use on the cooktop and it is not necessary to replace your present cookware with commercial cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Cookware Safety

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are

• asily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable,

e warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Pans with heavy handles (especially small pans) could be unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

• Be sure cookware is large enough to properly

contain food and avoid boil overs. Pan size is

articularly important in deep fat frying. Pan should

p accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

• To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials

and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by children.

• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the

cookware and the appliance.

• 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 guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Heating Elements and Glass Ceramic Cooking Surfaces

• S

urface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be hot

enough to cause burns.

• NEVER

• Heating

•

touch the glass surface areas directly on or adjacent to the heating elements when the rangetop is in use.

elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near elements and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable material contact surface of rangetop or areas near heating elements until they have had sufficient time to cool. DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE – If cooking surface should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooking surface and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
