SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including
the following:
s
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
s
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
s
Before performing any service, disconnect
the cooktop power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
s
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided installation instructions. This
appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual, properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse acceptable
for the indicated wattage on the name plate.
s
Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
s
Do not leave children alone—children should not
be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
s
Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the cooktop.
s
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the cooktop.
CAUTION:

should not be stored in cabinets above a
cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop

Always keep dishtowels, dish cloths, pot holders
and other linens a safe distance away from your
cooktop.
s
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your
cooktop. They may become hot and could cause
burns.
s
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface elements and may cause severe burns.
s
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 hot surface
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface
element.
s
For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
s
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface element by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
s
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering with baking soda or, if available, by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
s
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
s
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on the cooktop.
