IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual.
All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• Before performing any service,
DISCONNECT THE COOKTOP
POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD
DISTRIBUTION PANEL
BY REMOVING
THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone— children
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
• Do not store flammable materials near the
cooktop.
• Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or
combustible materials on top of the optional
high shelf.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED
IN CABINETS ABOVE A COOKTOP OR
ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A COOKTOP—
CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE
COOKTOP TO REACH ITEMS COULD
BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the cooktop.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with surface burners,
burner grates or oven heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders
touch surface burners or burner grates.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• When cooking, do not touch the surface
burners, burner grates, grill or griddle
(on some models) or the surrounding areas.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other flammable materials
contact the surface burners, grill or griddle
(on some models), or areas near the surface
burners; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop and the drip tray
handles.
• Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters
clean to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.
Turn the ventilator OFF in case
of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor
or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower,
if in operation, could spread the flames.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion
or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure
a fresh air supply is available.
