may melt or soften if left too close to a
lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
hot surfaceburners, cabinet storage should
not be provided directly above a unit. If
storage is provided, it should be limited to
itemswhich are usedinfrequently andwhich
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.
A faint gasodor may indicate a gasleak. If a
gasodor is detected, shut off gassupply to
the cooktop. Call your installer or local gas
companyto havethe possible lea[< checked.
Never use a match or other flame to
locate a gas leak.
IN CASE OF
FH E
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to
avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame
then turn on hood to remove smoke and
odor.
• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid
or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
CHILD SAFETY
NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near the appliance when it is in use or
is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could be
injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance
and utensilson it canbe hot. Let hot utensils
coo[ in a safe place, out of reach of small
children. Children should be taught that an
applianceis not a toy. Children should not
be allowed to play with controls or other
parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of in-
terest to children in cabinets above an
appliance. Children climbing on the appli-
ance to reach items could be seriously
injured.
ABOUT YOUR
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room to prevent potential
hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop as
a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking the air in-
takes. Restriction of air flow to the burner
prevents proper performance and increases
carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
COOKING SAFETY
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner isturned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off be-
fore removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that
it does not extend beyond the bottom edge
of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous,
wastes energy and may damage the appli-
ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
N EVE R leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills
as soon as possible. Do not use high heat for
extended cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner. Pressure build-up may
cause container to burst resulting in seri-
ous personal injury or damage to the appli-
ance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as potholders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
cooktop. Clean frequently to prevent grease
from accumulating.
NEVER wear garments made of flam-
mable material or loose fitting or long-
sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing
may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Do not use aluminum foil to line burner
basin. Restriction of normal air flow may
result in unsafe operation.
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that
are easily grasped and staycoo[.Avoid using
unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-
handled pans. Also avoid using pans, espe-
cially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that
are heavy to move when filled with food
may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is
particularly important in deep fat frying. Be
sure pan will accommodate the volume of
food that is to be added as well as the bubble
action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do not extend
handles over adjacent surface burners. Al-
ways turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easilyhit or reachedby small
children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage
the utensil and the appliance.
