IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury when using your Compact Kitchen, follow these basic precautions:
Read all instructions before using the Compact Kitchen.
DANGER or WARNING: Risk of child entrapment.
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous . . . even if they will “just sit in the garage a few days”.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator: take off the doors. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the Compact Kitchen.
Never clean Compact kitchen parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
Proper Installation - Be sure your appliance is properly installed, per the manufacturer instructions.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Wear Proper Apparel - Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored in the unit.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam- type extinguisher.
Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist of damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place - Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a shock or fire hazard.
Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units
– To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
