•The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

•The fire department is being called.

•You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

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

•Children should not be left alone or unat- tended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

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

•When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE

BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SUR- ROUNDING 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. Boil-overs cause smoking, and greasy spill-overs may ignite.

•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, burn- ers, 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 flam- mable 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.

•Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.

CAUTION: Do not allow aluminum

!foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
