IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the
fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease
may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Pot holders—Moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the
pot holders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Always
turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners.
Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
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 your sealed
gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner,
it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in expo-
sure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current stan-
dards. This can be hazardous to your health.
• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottom large enough to cover the surface burner.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not
Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Heat
Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere
with heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the
cooktop or personal injury may result.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become
hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because
the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from
the burner and cause combustion problems.
GLASS COOKTOPS (some models):
• Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass—If
glass top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful
to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
