User servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Storage in or on appliance. Flammable materials should not be stored on or near surface units.
Do not use water on grease fires. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid or other metal tray,
then turn off the gas burner. BE CAREFUL in order to prevent burns. If the flames do not go
out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. NEVER use water or a wet
dishcloth or towel on grease fires: a violent steam explosion may result. Use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Use a fire extinguisher only if:
• you have a class ABC extinguisher, and know how to operate it;
• the fire is small, and confined to the area where it originally started;
• you can fight it with your back to the exit
• the Fire Department has already been called
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more gas burners of different
size. Select pans having flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner flame area. The flame
should NOT extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Beware that direct contact with the flame
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of pan to burner size will also improve
efficiency.
