important Safety instructions
= Use Only Dry Potholders--IVIoist or damp pot hold-
ers on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let the potholders 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 uten-
sil. 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. Ifyou 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.
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.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventila-
tion hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do
not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufac-
turer's instructions for cleaning.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from
Edges of Cooktop 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 sur-
face 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 break-
ing 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 combus-
tion problems.
