Fire Safety
•
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of an appliance,
especially surface unit drip bowls or oven bottom. Installation of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
•
If materials inside an oven or warming drawer should ignite, keep door closed.
Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit breaker box.
•
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. For
example, never use the appliance for warming or heating the room. Never use
the appliance for storage.
•
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot 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 flamma-
ble 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 RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
1) 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.
2) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe’).
3) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accu-
mulate on fan or filter.
4) 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 immedi-
ately to extinguish flames.
•
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and
easily accessible near the oven.
•
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
Safety
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
