KitchenAid KECC502 Manual Do Utilizador

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the 
following:

■

Do not store items of interest to 

children in cabinets above a cooktop – Children
climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be 
seriously injured.

■

Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

■

Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating 
the Room.

■

Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not

be left alone or unattended in area where cooktop is
in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the cooktop.

■

Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging 

garments should never be worn while using the 
cooktop.

■

User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of
the cooktop unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.

■

Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should
not be stored near surface units.

■

Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or

flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

■

Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

■

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS

NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns. 
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing 
or other flammable materials contact surface units 
or areas near units until they have had sufficient 
time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop 
and surfaces facing the cooktop.

■

Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped 

with one or more surface units of different size. 
Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to 
cover the surface unit heating element. The use of 
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the 
heating element to direct contact and may result in 
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to 
burner will also improve efficiency.

■

Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.

■

Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of

glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service 
without breaking due to the sudden change in 
temperature.

■

Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend 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.

■

Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may 
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact a qualified technician 
immediately.

■

Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should

not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

■

When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

■

Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, 
be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can 
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in 
Place 

– Absence of these pans or bowls during 

cooking may subject wiring or components 
underneath to damage.

Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line 
surface unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the 
manual. Improper installation of these liners may 
result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

■

■

Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - 
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
