including those in the following pages.
• Proper installation is your responsibility.
Make sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified
installer.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors, liquids or materials
near this or any other appliance.
• WARNING: NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the

hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
• FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SHOULD
NEVER BE STORED ON OR NEAR THE
SURFACE BURNERS.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand,

drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may
tip over, potentially causing severe

Fire safety
• Save these instructions.
• Set the burner control so that the flame
does not extend beyond the bottom of
the pan.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic,
paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot surface element, burner or grate. Do
not allow pans to boil dry.
• If the cooktop is near a window, forced
air vent or fan, be certain that flammable
materials such as window coverings do
not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
• Always have a working smoke detector
near the kitchen. Never leave the
cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite.

Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
• Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size of
