SURFACE BURNER WARNINGS
WARNING
Follow basic precautions when installing and using this range to reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock, injury, or death to persons, including:
Use proper pan sizes. Avoid pans that are unstable or warped. Select
cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner grates. To
avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain your food.
This will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with
handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
Do not use pots or pans larger than the grate on a grate. Using pots or pans
larger than a grate may cause the pots or pans to discolor or deform. It can
also cause units or the wall around the grate to ignite and may generate excess
carbon monoxide.
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners. Make sure the
burners have ignited.
If ignition fails, turn the knob to O and wait until the gas already emitted has
dissipated. If you keep the knob in the LITE position without proper ignition, the
emitted gas might cause an explosion.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at HIGH flame settings. Boilovers
cause smoking, and greasy spillovers can ignite.
Stand away from the range when frying.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Flames that extend past cookware edges can be hazardous.
To decrease spattering when cooking foods with lots of liquid, such as meat
sauce or stew, adjust the the flame to low and stir frequently.
Only use dry pot holders. Pot holders with moisture in them can release steam
and cause burns if they come in contact with hot surfaces.
Keep pot holders away from open flames when lifting cookware. Never use a
towel or bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
Keep all plastic away from the surface burners or any open flame.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the
cooktop, but not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of
burns, spillovers, and the ignition of flammable materials that can be caused if
pots or pans are bumped accidently.
Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could
ignite and burn you if they touch a surface burner.
Take care that your hands do not touch the burners when they are on. Turn o
the burners when you change a pan or pot.
