WARNING
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Unattended cooking on a cooktop with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in a fire. Boilovers cause
smoking, and greasy spillovers may ignite.
WARNING
Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air
vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond
the edges of the pan.
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should
ignite, keep door closed.
▶ Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the
circuit breaker box.
A fire could occur during cooking.
▶ Always have a working smoke detector near the
kitchen.
▶ Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil.
▶ Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
▶ Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be
certain that flammable materials such as window
coverings do not blow over or near the burners or heating
elements. They could catch on fire.
Cooking fires can spread if extinguished incorrectly.
▶ Never use water on cooking fires.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE
FIRE
▶ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High
Settings - Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or
medium settings.
▶ Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
▶ Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
▶ Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate
for the size of the surface element.
Flames can be drawn into the ventilation system.
▶ Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach
through fire to turn it off.
Cookware Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units.
▶ To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with
the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.
Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments,
such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves, should
never be worn while using the appliance.
▶ Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose.
▶ Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning.
Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface units of different sizes.
▶ Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to
cover the surface unit burner.
▶ The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion
of the burner to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to burner
will also improve efficiency.
CAUTION
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term
cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
WARNING
To avoid risk of fire do not store items on the cooking
surfaces.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires.
▶ Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond
the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of cookware
to burner flame reduces safety risks.
CAUTION
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering
the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to
the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
