A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a gas odor is detected, shut off the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your installer or local gas company to have the possible leak checked.

Never use a match or other flame to locate a gas leak.

IN CASE OF FIRE

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame thenturnonhoodtoremovesmokeandodor.

•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 extin- guisher to smother fire or flame.

CHILD SAFETY

CAUTION

NEVER store items of interest to chil- dren in cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

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.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.

ABOUT YOUR

APPLIANCE

WARNING

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poison- ing and overheating of the oven.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or pas- sages with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Alu- minum foil may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.

NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to the burners and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

Do not use the cooktop as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

COOKING SAFETY

Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is com- pleted, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appli- ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heatsettingorwhendeepfatfrying.Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. Do not use high heat for extended cooking operations.

NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface burner. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious per- sonal injury or damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appli- ance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently topreventgrease from accumulating onhood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood turn the fan on.

NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-sleeved ap- parel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.

UTENSIL SAFETY

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose- handled pans. Also avoid using pans, espe- cially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable ma- terials and spillage due to unintentional con- tact with the utensil, do not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance.
