Power Failure
If power failure occurs, the electric igniters will not work. No attempt
should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make
sure the burner control is in the “OFF” position.
Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The rangetop is affected
only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the rangetop
will function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may
not affect rangetop operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.

WARNING
POWER FAILURE WARNING
Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in
attempting to light and extinguish the burner, the grill should, not under
any circumstances, be used during a power failure. The grill burner
control should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.
WARNING
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent
potential hazard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, DO NOT
use the rangetop as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.
WARNING
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are “OFF” before cleaning. Failure to
do so can result in burns or electrical shock.
CAUTION
DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children
climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
Before Using Rangetop
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove
any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from
the manufacturing process. Before cooking, clean the rangetop
thoroughly with a hot, soapy damp cloth. There may be some burn off
and odors on first use of the appliance—this is normal.

Cooking Vessels
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking
vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.
Any and all cooking vessels are suitable for use in the range and it is
not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels with commercial
cookware. This is a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware,
yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the
bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.
Note: When using big pots and/or high flames, it is recommended to use
the front burners. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup at
rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.
