General Safety Precautions
Information contained in
this
manual
is
intended
for
use
by
a
qualified
service
technician. The technician is required
to
be familiar
with
proper
and safe
procedures
to
be
followed
when
repairing electric, gas, and
microwave
appliances.
All
tests and repairs are
to
be performed using
proper
tools
and measuring devices
designed
for
appliance diagnosis and repair. All
component
replacements should
be made using
only
factory
approved
replacement
parts.
Electrical shock and injury can result
if
service
or
repairs are attempted
by
an
unqualified individual.
Improper
disassembly, assembly
or
adjustments
can
create hazardous conditions.
Even
for
a skilled technician, a risk
of
injury
or
electrical shock exists
while
performing
service
or
repairs. Electrical
injury
can be serious
or
fatal.
Extreme caution
must
be taken
when
performing
voltage checks
on
individual
components
of
an appliance.
NOTE: The electrical
power
supply
should always be disconnected
when
servicing a
product.
If
power
is needed
to
test
a
component
extreme
caution
must
be taken.
To
avoid possible injury,
the
appliance
must
be properly grounded. Never plug
in
or
direct
wire
an appliance unless
it
is
properly
grounded
in
accordance
with
all local and
national
codes. See
the
installation
instructions
that
originally
accompanied
the
product
for
proper
grounding
procedures.
In
our
continuing effort
to
improve
the
quality and performance
of
our
cooking products,
it
may
be necessary
to
make changes
to
the appliance
without
revising this manual.
The model and serial
number
can be found on
the
data plate located
on
the
underside
of
the
cooktop. The model
number
identifies features, sizes and engineering changes. The
model
number
assist
the
technician in establishing
the
proper
service procedures
for
the
different
variations
of
cooking products.
