Install a smoke detector in or around the kitchen

•Always use cooking utensils with flat bottoms big enough to cover the burner. If smaller utensils are used, part of the flame can remain exposed and set clothing on fire.

•To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of inflammable materials and unintentional spills, point the handles of the utensils inward, so that they do not hang over adjacent working areas, cooking areas or the edge of the cooktop.

•To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by rea- ching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a hood that pro- jects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinet.

•When stirring or turning food, hold the handle of the pot or pan firmly, to prevent it from moving.

•GREASE IS INFLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before handling it. Prevent the formation of grease build-up. Clean the cooktop following every use.

•In order for the burners to ignite and operate properly, keep the burner ports clean.

The burner ports must be cleaned follow ing a a spill or when the burner does not ignite, even if the electrical lighters click.

Consult the care and maintenance section.

•Never pick up a burning pot, as this could cause burns.

•Clean the cooktop with care. Avoid steam burn risks: do not use a sponge or damp cloth to clean the cooktop while hot. Some cleaning products produce harmful vapors if applied to a hot surface. Follow the instructions provided by the cleaning product manufacturer.

•Ensure that all the cooktop control knobs are set to off and that the cooktop is cool before using any aerosol cleaning product on or around the cooktop. In the presence of heat, the chemical products that produce the spraying action can ignite or trigger corrosion of the metal pieces.
