Read before operating your cooktop
All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer- havethe potential through improper
or careless use to create safety problems. Therefore the following safety precau-
tions should be observed:
1.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.
2.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. This warning is
based on safety considerations.
3.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.
5.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to an authorized
Jenn-Air Servicer.
6.
Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquid near cooktop, This also applies to aerosol sprays and aerosol spray cans.
7.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
8.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
9.
Select ceokware large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers or
spillovers. This will save on cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of
food, since heavy splattering or spillevers left on a cooktop can ignite. Pan size
is especially important in deep fat frying.
10, Never leave cooktop unattended at Hi heat settings. Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
11. TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable and easily tipped. In
choosing pans, look for easily-grasped handles that will stay cool. Pans that
are too heavy when filled with food can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist
and cannot be tightened, discard the pan.
12. HANDLES - Always turn pan handles to the side or back of the cooktop - not
out into the room where they are easily hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD
BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT SURFACE
BURNERS to minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the cookware.
13.
CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above cooktop-
children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
