IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

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

•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•Before performing any service,

DISCONNECT THE COOKTOP POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

•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.

•Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop.

•Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or combustible materials on top of the optional high shelf.

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

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

•Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with surface burners, burner grates or oven heating elements 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 surface burners or burner grates.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

•When cooking, do not touch the surface burners, burner grates, grill or griddle (on some models) or the surrounding areas.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface burners, grill or griddle (on some models), or areas near the surface burners; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop and the drip tray handles.

•Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could spread the flames.

•DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is available.
