Cooktop Safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, take these precautions:

•This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. See the Warranty, if you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

•Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

•Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniters clean and dry.

•In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door. Wait at least 5 minutes before using the cooktop.

•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

•Do not use aluminium foil to line any part of the cooktop.

•If the cooktop is near a window, be certain that curtains or any other window covering do not blow over or near the burners; they could catch on fire.

Personal Safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of injury to persons, in the event of a grease fire, observe the following:

•In the event of a grease fire SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner.

•BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

•Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.

•NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be burned.

•ALWAYS have a working SMOKE DETECTOR near the kitchen.

•LEAVE THE HOOD VENTILATOR ON when flambéing food.

To reduce the risk of burn injuries during cooktop use, observe the following:

•Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.

•Children or pets should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use.

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

CAUTION

DO not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop.

•Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.

•When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.

•Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.

•Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy spillovers may ignite.

A spill on a burner can smother all or part of the flame or hinder spark ignition.

If a boilover occurs, turn off burner and check operation. If burner is operating normally, turn it back on.

•During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

•Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

•Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop.

•Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while cooking.

•In the event that personal clothing catches fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.

•Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with hot burners or hot burner grates.

•Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.
