9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR'S USE. INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE UNIT FOR THE OWNER. OWNER: PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. 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. Fire Safety Save these instructions. Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. 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. Crêpes 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. 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. Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance. 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. During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually. Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. Gas Safety To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents. Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located. For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry. If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance. WARNING All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on for SGS and SGSP models. One igniter sparks on SGSX and SGSXP when burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and contact an authorized service technician to diagnose the issue. See Warning, ~ "Gas Appliance Safety" on page 5 6
