READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not store or corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables or nonfood products in or
near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food.
The use of corrosive chemicals in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and
could result in injury.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be
worn while cooking.
If the cooktop is near a window, be certain that curtains or any other window
covering do not blow over or near the elements; they could catch on fire.
If clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.
Smother flames from a grease fire with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other
metal tray, then turn off the element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do
not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels, on grease fires. A violent
steam explosion may result. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire.
However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
Never pick up a flaming pan. You may get burned.
Use an extinguisher only if:
You know hou have a Class ABS extinguisher and you know to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Do not leave lids or other large metal objects on the element. If the appliance is
switched on by mistake, these objects will heat up very quickly and could cause
burns.
This cooktop comes with a cooling fan mounted underneath. If a drawer is fitted
beneath the cooktop, do not keep small objects or paper in it as they could damage
the cooling fan or affect the cooling system. Do not keep silver foil and flammable
materials or liquids (for example sprays) in the drawer or near the cooktop. They
could explode.
