7. Do not store items on the unit.
8. Never let clothing, potholders or other flammable materials come into contact with, or close
proximity to the burners while in operation. Flammable fabric, drapes or wall coverings must be
kept away from the gastop as they may ignite and cause personal injury. For personal safety,
wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while cooking.
9. Allow sufficient time for the unit to cool before touching or exposing surface areas to flammable
materials.
10. Always use dry potholders when removing utensils from the burners. Wet or damp potholders
can cause steam burns. Do not let potholders touch the burners or grate. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of a potholder.
11. WARNING: Clean the gastop with caution. A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking surface can result in steam burns and may damage the surface of the gastop. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
12. Be sure all controls are turned off and the gastop is cool before using aerosol cleaners. The
chemicals used in aerosol sprays may be flammable.
13. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on or near the unit.
14. Never leave the unit unattended while cooking. Very hot oils can cause fire.
15. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. If possible, turn the
gastop off. Then smother the flames (use a tight fitting lid, flat tray, cookie sheet etc.) or use a
dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher. Baking soda will also work but your kitchen should
be equipped with a fire extinguisher.
16. Always heat fat slowly, watching as it heats. Stir combinations of fats together
17. If high settings are used, remain near the unit to monitor for flammable splattering grease and /
or boil overs.
18. WARNING: Glass and Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to
the sudden change in temperature.
19. WARNING: Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extended Over Adjacent
Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
