unit could spread, especially if the exhaust
fan is operating.
b.
Do not allow grease and soil to build up
in the grease filter. Exhaust fan efficiency
will decrease and fire may result. Clean
otten following the filter cleaning instructions on page 13.
C. Do not change the cooktop or oven
lights without turning the power off at the
main power supply. Electrical shock may
result.
d. Do not flame foods when operating the

spread the flame and cause personal in-
jury or property damage.
