IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READANDSAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS 9WARNING
When properly cared for, your new
appliance has been designed to be
safe and reliable. Read all
instructions carefully before use.
These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons. When using
kitchen appliances, basic safety
precautions must be followed,
including those in the following
pages.
Fire Safety
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper
or cloth to come in contact with a hot
surface element, burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
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
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector
near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when
in use. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.
9WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
GREASE FIRE:
1. 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.
2. Always turn hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair
catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the appliance.
Smother flames from food fires other than
grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

9WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out
immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
– You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including
wet dishcloths or towels – a
violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
– You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
– 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.
Whenever possible, do not operate the
ventilation system during a cooktop fire.
However, do not reach through fire to turn
it off.
Cooking Safety
9WARNING
Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating the appliance. Never use
the appliance for storage.
9WARNING
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.
9WARNING
Risk of burns!
Only close the appliance cover once
the appliance has cooled down.
Never turn on the appliance with the
appliance cover closed. Don't set
down food on appliance cover or use
it for keeping food warm.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR
AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may
be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at
high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.
Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop
only when necessary. To avoid bubbling
and splattering, heat oil slowly, on no
more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and
injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before
beginning. Tie long hair so that it does
not hang loose, and do not wear loose-
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling
sleeves.
9WARNING
Risk of burns!
If the appliance cover (VD) is fitted:
do not close the appliance cover
until the appliance has cooled down
completely. Do not operate the
appliance with the cover closed. Do
not use the appliance cover for
placing objects or for keeping things
warm.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use
the appliance, it is the responsibility of
the parents or legal guardians to ensure
that they are instructed in safe practices
by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean,
sit, or hang on any part of an appliance,
especially a door, warming drawer, or
storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over,
potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this
appliance unless closely supervised by
an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where
the appliance is in use. They should never
be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether
or not the appliance is in use.
