IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
SAFETY FOR THE COOKTOP
• Do not touch the cooktop or the area immedi-
ately surrounding it.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended at high
heat settings. Boil over causes smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch fire.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the cooktop or oven. Improper use of these
liners could result in an electric shock or fire,
or the obstruction of the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat in-
sulator and heat will be trapped beneath it.
This will upset the cooking performance and
can damage the finish.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ce-
ramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop service without break-
ing due to the sudden change in temperature.
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flam-
mable materials and spillage due to the unin-
tentional contact with the utensil, the handle
of a utensil should be positioned inward.
Make sure the handle does not extend over
adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge
of the cooktop.
• Have the installer show you where the gas
shut-off valve is located so that you know how
and where to turn off the gas to the cooktop.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. Connections
can loosen in transit. If the connections are not
perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and
therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a gas leak
is not a do-it-yourself procedure. Some leaks
can only be found with the burner control in
the ON position and this must be done by a
qualified technician. Please see Page 1.
•The cooktop on your range is factory assembled
for natural gas. It may be converted to pro-
pane gas. Your cooktop should be correctly
adjusted by a qualified service person or in-
staller for the type of gas with which it is used.
• During cooking, for safety considerations, set
the burner control so that the flame heats only
the bottom of the pan and does not extend be-
yond the bottom of the pan. The use of flat
cookware will provide better stability on the
burner grate and ensure the best perfor-
mance.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or
forced air vents do not blow flammable mate-
rial toward the flames or push the flames so
that they extend beyond the edges of the uten-
sil.
• In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes,
turn off the knob(s) and open a window or a
door. Do not attempt to use the cooktop until
the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least
5 minutes before using the range.
• Never let clothing, pot holders or other flam-
mable materials come in contact with or be too
close to the burners while in operation. Fabric
may ignite and result in personal injury. For
personal safety wear proper apparel; loose fit-
ting or hanging garments should never be
worn while cooking.
• In the event of a power failure, the standard
gas burners or the ExtraLow
®
burners will not
automatically light or relight.
