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 from 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 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 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 extinguish fire or flame. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it.

Child Safety

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

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

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