WARNING!
SURFACEBURNERS
Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easilg tippe4 Select coot<ware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. Toovoid spillovers, mare sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. Thiswill beth save deoning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of
food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool
_ Always use the LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or the HI position (on standing
pilot models)when igniting the top burners
and make sure the burners have ignited.
i_ Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
_ Adjust the top burner flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
_, Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
_ When using glass cookware, make sure it
isdesigned for top-of-range cooking.
_ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
_ Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
i!:_Do not flame foods on the cooktop. Ifyou do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
!:,_iDo not use a wok on the cooking surface
if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support
the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which
may damage the burner grate and burner
head. Also, it may cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause a carbon
monoxide level above that allowed by current
standards, resulting in a health hazard.
_ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
¢_;4Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
!_ Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
KsCarefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
_ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
_ Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure inclosed
containers, which may cause them to burst.
_, If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
_ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
_ Keepall plasticsaway from the surface
burners.
_ To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
_ If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
i_}If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.

before removing cookware, sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models),
_ Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner
models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to
damage and improper operation of the range.
?£When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot
models), Uou will detect a faint odor of gas
as your signal to relight the pilot. When
relighting the pilot, make sure burner controls
are in the off position, and follow instructions
in this book to relight.
