Installation Guide

• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the appliance or on the backsplash of
the appliance. Children should not be left alone or
unattended in the area where the appliance is in use.
Do not allow children to climb or play around the
appliance. They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the appliance. Children climbing
on the appliance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING SURFACE, THE
BURNERS, GRATES, OR ANY AREAS NEAR
THEM. Surface burners or the appliance may be hot
even though flames are not visible. Areas near
surface burners or the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
touch these areas until they have had sufficient time
to cool.
• Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other
flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Smother grease fires with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class A, B or C extinguisher,
and you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it
is started.
- The fire department is being/has been called.
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let potholders touch hot heating elements, the flame,
or burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on this appliance can
result in serious injuries and also cause damage to
the appliance.
• Never use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating.
• Know which knob controls which surface burner.
Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the
flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
pot/pan.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on the hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When cooking food,
turn the hood fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
• Pot/pan handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners. To reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the pot/pan, the handle
of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned
inward and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smoke and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the
appliance. Use aluminum foil only to cover food during
cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result
in the risk of electric shock or fire.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
appliance service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for appliance use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to
see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
appliance or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
• Always use the proper flame size. Adjust the flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the pot/pan.
The use of undersized pots/pans will expose a portion of
the burner flame to direct contact and may result in the
ignition of clothing. The proper relationship of the
pot/pan to the flame will also improve efficiency.
• The top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
