Using Your Cooktop
Contmued
In case of a prolonged power failure:
Surface burners can be manually lighted. Hold a
lighted match near a burner and turn the control
to the LITE position. After the burner lights, turn
the control to the desired setting.
NOTE: Grill/griddle burners should not be
manually lighted during a prolonged power failure.
Since the vent system will not operate, smoke
and steam will not be vented out of the room.
Burn, Fire and Explosion Hazard
l
Burner flame should not extend beyond
the edge of the cooking utensil. The flame
can burn you and cause poor cooking
results.
. Be sure all control knobs are turned to off
when you are not cooking. Someone
could be burned or a fire could start if a
burner is accidentally left ON.
l
If the flame should go out while cooking,
or if there is a strong gas odor, turn the
burners OFF. Wait five minutes for the
gas odor to disappear, before relighting
burner. If gas odor is still present, see
safety note on page 3. Failure to follow
these precautions could result in explo-
sion or fire.
Fire and Burn Hazard
l
If grease causes excessive flare-ups DO
NOT PUT WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.
To put out fire:
-Remove food from the grill, turn the grill
control to OFF and cover the grill with a
large metal pan.
- Make sure the vent system has been
switched to ON.
l
Do not light the grill/griddle burners
during a power failure. The vent system
will not work if there is a power failure.
This prevents proper venting for ad-
equate cooling of the grill/griddle burn-
ers. The resulting heat build-up can cause
fire.
l
Do not use pots or pans on grill. They will
become very hot and can burn you.
Using the grill
Before you use the grill for the first time:
Wash with warm, soapy water; rinse and dry.
Never use a metal scrubbing pad or abrasive
cleanser on the grill; these will damage the non-
stick surface. After cleaning, lightly wipe cooking
surface with cooking oil to prevent food from
sticking.
Cooking tips
Do not cover the entire cooking surface with
meat. Leave space between the food items to
allow smoke and steam to ventilate properly.
Meat with a normally high fat content will
produce more smoke and flare-ups, but cook
faster than lean meat. Trim fat from meat before
placing on the grill to prevent excessive smoke or
flare-ups.
If meat begins to cook too quickly, turn the grill
control knob to a lower setting.
Do not leave grill unattended.
NOTE: The use of metal utensils can scratch the
non-stick coating. Only nylon or plastic utensils
should be used. When using nylon or plastic
utensils, do not leave them on the grill. They may
melt.
