Safety Precautions

•CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS INSTALLED ABOVE THE COOKTOP SYSTEM—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE COOKTOP SYSTEM TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

•Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the cooktop system. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop system. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or gas burners and may cause severe burns.

•Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch the hot surface units or gas burners and grates. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

•For your safety, never use any electric or gas components of the cooktop system for warming or heating the room.

•Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop system components.

•Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other gas or electric appliance.

•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the cooktop system components.

•Never leave the kitchen while using the grill.

•Do not replace the grease collector jar with a mayonnaise jar which could break when hot grease drips into it. Replace with any wide mouth canning jar.

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well- fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

•Keep the grill drip pan and grease well clean to reduce smoking and avoid grease fires.

•To control flame-ups, turn down the heat setting to low, rather than off (O). This keeps the downdraft vent blower on. Or, turn the Variable Speed Vent blower to HI, then turn the grill off (O).

Use a long-handled utensil to carefully remove the food from the grill.

These steps should control the flame until it eventually goes out. If it does not, cover the entire grill module with a cookie sheet or the lid from a large roasting pan. Use a pot holder to remove this later because it will be hot.

•Do not touch the surface units. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, cooktop surfaces or areas nearby the surface units. Allow sufficient time for cooling of the cooking surfaces.

Potentially hot surfaces include the grill grates and all components with electric cooking elements or gas burners and grates.

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
