Important Instructions

1. Note - Save this for local electrical inspector use.

2. To eliminate the risk of burns or fire from reaching over heated surface units, cabinets or

shelves should not be located above the appliance. If cabinets or shelves are used, a vent

hood extending beyond the outside of the appliance by at least 5 inches should be installed.

3. To prevent personal injury or damage to the appliance:

a) The appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

b) Never use the appliance for warming or heating the room.

c) Do not leave children alone or unattended - Children should not be left alone or

unattended in an area where the appliance is being used and should never be allowed to

sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

d) Wear proper apparel while using the appliance - Loose fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance.

e) User servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the a appliance unless specifically

recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

Storing flammable materials - Flammable materials should never be stored near the

appliance.

g) Never Use Water on Grease Fires - To extinguish grease fires or flames, smother them

or use a dry chemical/foam type extinguisher suitable for grease fires. Using water on

grease fires can cause burning grease to spread.

h) Use dry potholders - Use only dry potholders to prevent injury from steam coming

from damp or wet potholders touching hot objects. Do not let potholders contact hot

heating surfaces and do not use towels or other bulky cloths in place of potholders.

4. To insure safe use of the appliance:

a) Use properly sized pans - The appliance has one or more surface cooking zones of

different sizes. Select pans with flat bases large enough to cover the entire cooking

zone. Using smaller pans will expose part of the cooking zone which will result in

energy being wasted and can result in clothing being ignited.

b) Never leave cooking zones unattended, especially at higher settings -- Foods boiling

over produces smoke and can start fires.

c) Glazed pots and pans - To avoid breakage, use only those types of glass, ceramic or

earthenware pots and pans suitable for use on rangetops.

d) Turn pot handles inward and away from nearby cooking zones - To reduce the risk of

burns, fire or spillage, place handles of pots and pans so they don't extend over nearby

cooking zones or over the floor.

e) Storing items attractive to children -- Do not store items interesting to children in

cabinets or on shelves over the appliance. Children climbing to reach attractive

items could be seriously injured.

5. Do not touch glass surface -- The ceramic glass surface could be hot even though it is dark

in color. Areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch or allow clothing or other

flammable materials contact the glass surface before it has cooled.
