9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS I MPORTANT SAFETY I NSTRUCTI ONSREAD AND SAVE THESE I NSTRUCTI ONS WARNING When properly cared for, your new appliance has been designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages. Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of transport damage, do not plug it in. Fire Safety Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry. 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 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 Flambé). 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 surface element. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires. WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned. c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. d. Use an extinguisher ONLY if: - You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it. - The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. - The fire department is being called. - You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
