Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over
burners.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are
EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and
may be highly flammable. Avoid their use
or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep
plastics away from parts of the appliance
that may become warm or hot. Do not
leave plastic items on the cooktop as they
may melt or soften if left too close to a
lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
hot surface burners, cabinet storage
should not be provided directly above a
unit. If storage is provided, it should be
limited to items which are used infrequently
and which are safely stored in an area
subjected to heat from an appliance.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some
items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or
aerosol sprays.
A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak.
If a gas odor is detected, shut off the gas
supply to the cooktop. Call your installer or
local gas company to have the possible
leak checked. Never use a match or
other flame to locate a gas leak.

CAUTION
NEVER leave children alone or
unsupervised near the appliance when it
is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could be
injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance
and utensils on it can be hot. Let hot
utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach
of small children. Children should be taught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children
should not be allowed to play with controls
or other parts of the unit.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air may ignite flammable items
and may increase pressure in closed
containers which may cause them to
burst.
WARNING
Do not use the cooktop as a storage area
for food or cooking utensils.
Potentially hot surfaces include cooktop,
and areas facing the cooktop.
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm a room. Doing
so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil may also trap
heat causing a fire hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking the oven
vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air
to the burners and may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off
before removing pan to prevent exposure
to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so
that it does not extend beyond the bottom
edge of the pan. An excessive flame is
hazardous, wastes energy and may
damage the appliance, pan or cabinets
above, beside or around the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. Do not use high
heat for extended cooking operations.
