Save These Instructions for Future Reference Glass-Ceramic Cooktop Child Safety Ventilating Hoods NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Never stand on the cooktop. Deep Fat Fryers Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to move pan. Heating Elements NEVER touch surface elements or areas near elements. Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or areas near elements until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop and areas facing the cooktop. CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on the cooktop. Children climbing on appliance to reach items could damage the appliance or be burned or seriously injured. NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised in area where appliance 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 utensils in or on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit. Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood or filter and to avoid grease fires. Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherries Jubilee) under the hood. Important Safety Notice and Warning IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful. 2
