IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND
WARNING
WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE To reduce the
risk of tipping of this appliance from abnormal
usage by excessive loading of the Microwave
Drawer, the appliance must be secured by
installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. If it
is not, there is a possible risk of the product
tipping and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on the open drawer. Please
refer to the Anti-Tip device information in the
Installation Manual.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, open
the Microwave Drawer fully and gently apply medium force
in the center of the handle until movement of the appliance
is detected. Continue pressing until the Anti-Tip bracket is
engaged and movement stops. A small amount of movement is
acceptable at the back of the appliance top, but it should be
stable and not tip once the Anti-tip bracket is engaged. Stop
pressing on the Microwave Drawer handle and close.
To check that the unit will not slide out, open the Microwave
Drawer fully and then apply gentle outward pressure. The
unit should not slide toward you. If it does, refer to the
Installation Instructions.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
1 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this manual.
2 Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with
the provided installation instructions.
3 Never use appliance for warming or heating the room.
4 Children should not be left alone or unattended in area
where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
5 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 hot surface units and
may cause severe burns.
6 Do not repair or replace any part of appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
7 Do not store flammable materials in the Microwave
Drawer or near surface units. Do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
8 Do not use water on grease fires. Smother a flame or
use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming
grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with
baking soda or, if available, by a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
9 Use only dry potholders - a moist or damp potholder on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot surfaces or radiant surface
units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
10 CAUTION Do not store items of interest to children
in cabinets above a Cooktop+Microwave Drawer.
Children climbing on the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer
to reach items could be seriously injured.
11 Do not touch the surface units. These surfaces may be
hot even though they are dark in color. These surfaces
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces
include: cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
12 Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
13 Before performing any service, disconnect the
Cooktop+Microwave Drawer power supply at the
household distribution panel by removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit breaker.
14 Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
Microwave Drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
Cooktop+Microwave Drawer and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
15 Teach children not to play with the controls or any other
part of the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer.
16 Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned
food a safe distance from your Cooktop+Microwave
Drawer.
17 Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or
drapes a safe distance from your Cooktop+Microwave
Drawer.
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS
1 Use proper pan size — this appliance has different size
surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface unit heating element.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of surface unit heating element to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship
of utensils to heating element will also improve
efficiency.
2 Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may catch on fire.
3 Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
