COOKTOP SAFETY
• Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the cooktop. They could
ignite if they touch an open flame and
you could be burned.
• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch an open flame. Do not use
a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It
could catch on fire.
• Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
• Do not store flammable materials on or
near the cooktop. The fumes could
create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line aeration
tray, burner basin, or any other part of
the cooktop. Use aluminum foil only as
recommended in this manual.
• A faint gas odor may indicate a gas
leak. If a gas odor is detected, shut off
the gas supply to the cooktop. Call your
installer or local gas company to have
the possible leak checked. Never use a
match or other flame to locate a gas
leak. Explosion and injury could result.
• Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When using the cooktop
• Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a cooktop could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
• Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
Grease
• Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan by covering with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside of pan can be extinguished with
baking soda or, if available, a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the cooktop. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops
without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
• Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
