Warnings

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  ammable vapors and materials.

• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

• NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite  ammable 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  ammable. 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 rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.

• 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 o appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the  ame. Extinguish  ame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.

• Smother  re or  ame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet. DO NOT use water on grease  res. Use baking soda, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother  re or  ame Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.

•NEVER pick up or move a  aming pan.

Child Safety

•NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.

• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.

Cooking Safety

• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner o before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner  ame.

• ALWAYS adjust surface burner  ame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive  ame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. This is based on safety considerations.

• NEVER leave a cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.

• DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.

• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

• DO NOT let cooking grease or other  ammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or  lter. When  aming foods under the hood, turn the fan o .
