 WARNING 
To reduce the risk of burn injuries during 
cooktop use, observe the following: 
x Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room. 
x Children or pets should not be left alone or 
unattended in an area where appliances are in 
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand 
on any part of the appliance. 
CAUTION 
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets 
above a range or on the backguard of a range; 
children climbing on the range to reach items could be 
seriously injured. 
 
When using the cooktop 
x Do not touch surface units or areas near 
units. Surface areas may become hot enough 
to cause burns. Surface elements may be hot 
even though they are dark in color. During and 
after use, do not touch or let flammable 
materials contact heating elements until they 
have had time to cool. 
When using the cooktop installed over oven 
x Do not touch heating elements or interior 
surfaces of oven. Heating elements may be 
hot even though they are dark in color. Interior 
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to 
cause burns. During and after use, do not 
touch, or let clothing or other flammable 
materials contact heating elements or interior 
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient 
time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance 
may become hot enough to cause burns – 
among these surfaces are (identification of 
surfaces – for example, oven vent openings 
and surfaces near these openings, oven 
doors, and windows of oven doors). 
x To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of 
flammable materials and spillage, the handle 
of a container should be turned toward the 
center of the cooktop without extending over 
any nearby surface units. 
x Use only certain types of glass, heatproof 
glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other 
glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop 
use
