Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances
are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

instructed in safe practices.

• In the event that personal clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
• Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact
with hot burners or hot burner grates.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface.
• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified

covering do not blow over or near the burners; they could catch on fire.
• When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate sur-
rounding area.
• Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause burns from steam.

and greasy spillovers may ignite.

cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop.

be worn while cooking.

other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.

steam explosion may result.
