TO PREVENT
FIRE OR
SMOKE DAMAGE
CAUTION
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air may ignite flammable items
and may increase pressure in closed
containers which may cause them to
burst.
Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to pre-
vent curtains from blowing over burners.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLO-
SIVE when exposed to heat and may be
highly flammable. Avoid their use or stor-
age 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 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.
