IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN

THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

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.

NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be

▯

burned.

DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or

▯

towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

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.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE

When gas burners are in operation without any cookware

placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A

ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may

become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas

burners with cookware on them.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE

During simultaneous use of multiple gas burners, a great

deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located

above it can become damaged or catch fire. Never use

two gas burners together at maximum heat for longer

than 15 minutes. One large burner with over

17,000 BTU/hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of

two gas burners.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE

Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat

unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch

off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with a

lid, a fire blanket or similar.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE

Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.

Clean the grease filter at least every two months.

Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE

Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire. Never

work with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g.

flambéing). Install the unit near a heat-producing

appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if there

is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must be no

flying sparks.

Burn Prevention

WARNING

RISK OF BURNS

The accessible parts get hot during operation. Never

touch hot parts. Keep children away.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance,

it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to

ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by

qualified persons.

Remove all tape and packaging before using the

appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the

appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging

material.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on

any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming

drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the

appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing

severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely

supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be

left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance

is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its

vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an

appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the

backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach

items could be seriously injured.
