9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS • If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent, or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire. • Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. • Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. • WARNING-TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE: a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe'). c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the burner. • In the event that personal clothing or hair 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. • Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan. • Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. • Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the oven. 9 WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: • SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. EXERCISE CAUTION TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. • NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN-You may be burned. • DO NOT USE WATER, including wet rags or towels-a violent steam explosion will result. • Use an extinguisher ONLY if: 1) You know you have a CLASS ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it. 2) The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. 3) The fire department is being called. 4) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. CAUTION: All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Burn Prevention • DO NOT TOUCH COOKTOP GRATES OR AREAS NEAR COOKTOP BURNERS - Areas near cooktop burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact cooktop burners or areas near them until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop. • DO NOT TOUCH HEATING BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating burners or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors. English 3
