IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
▯
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
▯
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
▯
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
▯
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and
you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
- The fire department is being called
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire
to turn it off.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
When gas burners are in operation without any cookware
placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A
ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may
become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas
burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located
above it can become damaged or catch fire. Never use
two gas cooktops together at maximum heat for longer
than 15 minutes. One large burner with over 17,000 Btu/
hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas
burners.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch
off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with a
lid, a fire blanket or similar.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.
Clean the grease filter at least every two months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire. Never
work with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g.
flambéing). Install the unit near a heat-producing
appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if there
is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must be no
flying sparks.
Burn Prevention
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
The accessible parts get hot during operation. Never
touch hot parts. Keep children away.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance,
it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal
guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the
appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the
appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
