- Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food prepared.
- Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer.
- Before servicing, switch power off at service panel and lock service panel (if possible) to prevent power from switching on accidentally.
- Clean ventilating fan frequently.
What to Do In The Event Of a Range Top Grease Fire
- SMOTHER FLAMES with a tight fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, and then turn off the burner. KEEP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM FLAMES. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE THE AREA AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT or 911.
- NEVER PICK UP A BURNING PAN – You May Get Burned.
- DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a steam blast will result.
- Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You have a Class A, B, C extinguisher and know how to operate it.
