IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Use proper flame size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame
will also improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If
you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and
can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This
can be hazardous to your health.
