Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. • Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them. • Stepping, leaning or sitting on this cooktop can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the cooktop. • Clean thecooktop with caution.

SURFACE BURNERS WARNING • If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to the "OFF" position. Do not leave the burners "ON" unattended. • Use proper pan size-Do not use pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. • Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. • Always turn knob to the "LITE" the position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. • Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. 5
