WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Safety Instructions

■Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with local codes and the provided installation instructions.

■Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

■Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.

■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the cooktop.

■CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

■Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.

■Always keep dish towels, dishcloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance away from your cooktop.

■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your cooktop.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units 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 hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit.

■For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

■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 well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

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