• Never leave the cooktop un-
attended when using high flame
settings. Boil-overs cause smok-
ing and greasy spills that may ig-
nite. More importantly, if the
burner flames are smothered,
unburned gas will escape into
the room. See inside the front
cover regarding gas leaks.
• Only certain types of glass,
heatproof glass-ceramic, ce-
ramic, earthenware or other
glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop use. This type of uten-
sil may break with sudden tem-
perature changes. Use only on
low or medium heat settings ac-
cording to the utensil
manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not heat unopened food
containers; a buildup of pres-
sure may cause the container to
burst.
• During cooking, set the
burner control so that the
flame heats only the bottom of
the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
• Use caution to insure that drafts
like those from forced air vents
or fans do not blow flammable
material toward the flames or
push the flames so that they ex-
tend beyond the edges of the
pot.
• Always use utensils that have
flat bottoms, large enough to
cover the burner. The use of un-
dersized utensils can expose a
portion of the flame and may re-
sult in ignition of clothing.
• To minimize burns, ignition of
flammable materials and unin-
tentional spills, position handles
of utensils inward so they do
not extend over adjacent work
areas, cooking areas or the edge
of the cooktop.
• Hold the handle of the pan
to prevent movement of the
utensil when stirring or turning
food.
• Do not use the grill for cook-
ing excessively fatty meats or
products which promote flare-
ups.
• The optional cutting board ac-
cessory must be removed
be-
fore operating the griddle.
• GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let
hot grease cool before attempt-
ing to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect. Clean af-
ter each use.
• For proper lighting and perfor-
mance of the burners, keep the
ports clean. It is necessary to
clean these when there is a boil
over or when the burner does
not light even though the elec-
tronic igniters click. See Page 27.
WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn
off the burner and clean
around the burner and burner
port. After cleaning, check for
proper operation.
• Clean the cooktop with cau-
tion. Avoid steam burns; do not
use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the cooktop while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Follow directions provided by
the cleaner manufacturer.
• Be sure all cooktop and grill
controls are turned off and the
cooktop and grill are cool be-
fore using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the cook-
top. The chemicals that produce
the spraying action can, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode. Service
should only be done by autho-
rized technicians. Technicians
must disconnect the power sup-
ply before servicing this unit.
• CAUTION: To avoid fire
hazzard, clean the ventilator
hood and filters above the
cooktop frequently so grease
from cooking vapors does not
accumulate on them.
• In case of fire or when inten-
tionally “flaming” liquor or
other spirits on the cooktop,
follow hood manufacturer’s in-
structions.
• Install a smoke detector in or
near the kitchen.
• California Proposition 65
Warning: The burning of gas
cooking fuel generates some by-
products which are on the list of
substances which are known by
the State of California to cause
cancer or reproductive harm.
California law requires busi-
nesses to warn customers of po-
tential exposure to such sub-
stances. To minimize exposure to
these substances, always oper-
ate this unit according to the in-
structions contained in this book-
let and provide good ventilation
to the room when cooking with
gas.
