To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

• 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.

• NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may

ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers
which may cause them to burst.

• 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 the
vent or a lighted surface burner.

• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may

become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods.

In Case of Fire

Extinguish flame, then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

foam-type extinguisher to extinguish fire or flame. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it.

is in use or is still hot.
