Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR
AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may
be hot even though they are dark in color.
Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and
areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
