Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to shut off gas supply at the meter and disconnect the electrical power to the cooktop at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals.

All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the cooktop.

This symbol will help alert you to situations that

may cause bodily injury or property damage.

• Do not leave children alone—Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, GRATES, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS. Surface burners may be hot even though the

flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and the surfaces facing the cooktop.

• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let

clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Storage on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be

stored on the cooktop, near surface burners. This includes

paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on the cooktop. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

Do not store items of interest to children in

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat

Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in the Cooking Guide. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the cooktop or personal injury may result.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/

ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
