Child Safety
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 cort_-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors
and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precau-
tions 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.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited
to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
apl)liance wherl it is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils
in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children should be taught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.
