warming or heating the room.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the cooktop.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with surface burners,
burner grates or oven heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch surface burners or burner grates.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• When cooking, do not touch the surface
burners, burner grates, grill or griddle
(on some models) or the surrounding areas.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials
contact the surface burners, grill or griddle
(on some models), or areas near the surface
burners; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop and the drip tray
handles.
• Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters
clean to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case
of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor
or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower,
if in operation, could spread the flames.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion
or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure
a fresh air supply is available.
