pliance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip de-

WARNING:
To Prevent Fire
or Smoke Damage
Be sure all packing materials are
removed from the appliance before oper-
ating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gaso-
line, and other flammable vapors and ma-
terials.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over burn-
ers.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite flam-
mable items and may increase pressure
in closed containers which may cause
them to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EX-
PLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may
be highly flammable. Avoid their use or
storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat.
Keep plastics away from parts of the
appliance that may become warm or hot.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop
as they may melt or soften if left too close
to the vent or a lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
hot surface burners, cabinet storage
should not be provided directly above a
unit. If storage is provided, it should be
limited to items which are used infre-
quently and which are safely stored in an
area subjected to heat from an appliance.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some
items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or
aerosol sprays.
