Because of the automatic exhaust fan
feature, the following cautions must be
observed:
- Do not leave the area when using your
cooktop at a high setting. Accidental
fires from boilovers or spattering on the
surface unit could spread, especially if
the exhaust fan is operating.
- Do not allow grease and soil to build up
in the grease filter. Exhaust fan effi-
ciency will decrease and fire could
result. Clean often following the filter
cleaning instructions on page 37.
- Do not change the cooktop or oven
lights without turning the power off at
the main power supply (see page 38).
Electrical shock could resuft.
- Do not flame foods on a cooktop
surface below this unit. The fan, if
operating, could spread the flame and
cause personal injury or property
damage.
l
Use care when cleaning the vent hood
filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as
lye-based oven cleaners, could damage
filter.
