" The California Safe Drinking Water and

Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of Califl)rnia to publish a list
of substances known to the state to cause

cancer, birth deibcts or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposm'e to such
substances.

SAP;r27TPRE CAU77ONS

When using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:

" Have the installer show you the location of

the cooktop gas shut-off valve and how to
turn it off if necessary.

" Be sure all pacMng materials are removed

from the cooktop betbre operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the

packing material ignite.

* Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic

path and out of drafty locations and areas
with poor air circulation.

" Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to

four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, tiwmaldehyde and soot,

caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly a(!justed burners, indicated bv
a bhfish rather than a yellow flame, will

miulmize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized bv

venting with an open window or using a

FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN

THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER

APPLIANCE.

" Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the cooktop.
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.

, If you smell gas, tile installer has not done

a proper job of checking tot leaks. You call
have a small leak and thereflwe a fidnt gas

smell if the connections are not completely
tight.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself
procedure. Some leaks call only be flmnd

with the burner control ill tile ON position

and %r your protection it must be done by
a qualified service technician. Never use all
open flame to locate a leak.

" If by some chance a hurner goes out and

gas escapes, open a window or a door to

let the room air out. Do not attempt to

use tile appliance until the gas has had

time to dissipate. Follow tile instructions
ill "What to do if You Smell Gas" on page 2.

" Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of

the cooktop. Using a fl)il liner could result ill
a tire hazard or tile obstruction of tile flow

of combustion and ventilation all: Foil is all
excellent heat insulator and heat will be

trapped underneath it. This trapped heat
call upset tile cooking per%finance and

call damage tile finish of tile oven or tile
cooktop.

* Do not heat unopened food containers;

a b uild-up of press ure may ca use the
container to burst.

" Set the burner control so that the flame

heats only the bottom of the pan and does
not extend beyond the bottom of tile pan.

Excessive flame is hazardous. Tile high BTU
burnei_ call easily melt cookware handles.

" Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot

holder, to prevent movement of tile utensil
when stirring or turning rood.

* Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats,
. Always use the LITE position when igniting

the surface burners and make sure the
burnel_ have ignited.

" Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire. If tile burner flames are smothered

by a severe boilover which attects the ignitor,

unburned gas will escape into the room.

" Do not let pot holders come near open

flames when rifting cookware. Do not use

SUt A CE COOKING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

*Always turn the surface burners to OFF"

before removing cookwaxe.

* Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

, Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on fi_ozen fl)ods or moisture on fi_esh
fl)ods can cause hot flit to bubble up and over

the sides of the pan.

" Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling
the pan too hill of fia can cause spillovers

when iood is added.

* Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating iht beyond
the smoking point.

" Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially

a deep iht fl'yer. _%dt until the tht is cool.

"When using glass cookwazce, make sure it is

designed for cooktop cooking.

, If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together betore heating or as
fats melt slowly.

" Do not leave azay items on the cooktop. The

hot air fl'om the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressm'e in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

, Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are

unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware

having fiat bottoms large enough to properly
contain fl)od and avoid boilovers and

spillovers and large enough to cover burner
grate. This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accmnulations of fl)od,
since hea W spattering or spillovers leit on the
cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles
that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

, Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

, Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop--

they may melt if left too close to the vent.

, To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls fl)r all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool

beflwe attempting to remove them.

" Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do

flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

, Grease is flmnmal}le. Let hot grease cool

beflwe attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle drip trays. Clean these areas after

e;ich rise.

" For proper fighting and performance of the

cooktop burners, keep the burner ports
clean. It may be necessary to clean these

when there is a boilo\ er (51"when the bm'ner
does not light, even though the electronic

ignitors click.

, After cleaning, it is important to mal<e sure

the cap and burner port are properly aligned
with the burner base. Incorrect alignment
will produce poor burner perfl)rmance.
Never operate the bm'ner without all bm'ner
parts in place.

, Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam

burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious tmnes if applied

to a hot ssu'thce. Follow Fnanufilcturer's
directions.

, Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty

meats or products wtfich promote fire-e-up.

, If cooktop is located near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the
sslrthce btlrners and create a fire hazard.

" Be sure all the cooktop controls are turned

off and the appliance is cool bet)re using
any type of aerosol cleaner or cooking spray
on 05"around the appliance. The chemical
that produces the spraying action could, in
the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal

Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These
drippings will create minor putts of flame t(_r
a second or two. This is nom_al when cooking
on a barbecue. You may find it handv to have
a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray
tile flare-up.

If the flare e becomes excessive, rein ore the
fi)od fl'om the grill, i,ower the heat setting.

Replace tile ti_od when tile flare-up subsides.

Tile two-piece cast stainless steel grill grates
are reversible. Place the side with the two

grooved tabs toward the back of the cooktop.

The grate will change color when subjected
to tile heat, and as oils cook onto tile sm't_ce.

This is normal and does not attect the cooking

To prevent flare-ups fl'om hal)pening, trim

chops, rise hambm'ger that is lean, remove
tile t_t fl'om poult_T; etc.

When tm'ning any kind of meat or poult_T;

the melting t_t will drop onto the grill radiant
and may create a flare-up. If this hal)pens,

For best results, tile grate should be seasoned
before tile first rise. Seasoning will insm'e a
stick-resistant cooking s/u'l_ce. If the grill has
not been used for a period of time, it should

be i'ese_lsoned.

To season the grill grate:

1 Clean tile grate thoroughly with hot, soapy

water to remove any mantll_('tm'ing oils, etc.

2 Rinse with a mixtm'e of 2 cups water and

1/2 cup white vinegar. D_T thoroughly.

3 Using a heavy cloth, iub vegetable oil over

tile entire s/u't_ce of tile rack. Do not use
corn oil, as it can get sticky.

4 Place grate into the grill housing. Turn the

Urn'net on to a meditm_ setting. Tm'n tile
Urn'net off when tile oil begins to smoke.
Allow grates to cool.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4.

The grill is now ready fi)r use.

One side of the grates (side A) is ridged and
should be rise(1 fi)r foods where w)u want the

t_t to ttm oft, stlch as steak or hambm'ger
patties. The ridges are sloped so the t_t runs
toward the fl'ont of the grill, into a drain hole
and down to a drip tray below.

Tile other side of tile grate (side B) is
designed for delicate ti)ods that need more
suI)port while cooking, such as fish.

Food cooked on this side achieves the same
flavor as ti)od cooked on }111outdoor g_ill. Tile

intense heat ti'om the grill radiant caramelizes
the lilts and juices that are brought to the stlrtilce
of tile tOod, giving it tile barbeetled flavor.

(o_ some _od_'l,_)

* When tm'ning the meat over, always use

a spatula as it will not puncture the meat
allowing the juices to Hnl out. This will help
to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only
once, as juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Season or salt the meat

atter it has been cooked.

,bBe sure to trim any excess titt fl'om meat

or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops ti'om
curling while they are being cooked, slit the

fht arotmd the edges at about 2" intervals.
To test tier doneness, make a small cut its the

center of the meat.

Ilemove the cover befi)i'e turi_ii_g the griddle on.

The griddle is made fl'om Type 304 stainless
steel and highly polished to provide a smooth
cooking stsrt_tce. It is i_ormal tier it to darken

with rise as oils cook onto the stsrl_tce to

provide a stick-resistant base or "seasoning."

* The aloneness of meat is attected by the

thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook

a thin piece of meat to a rare aloneness.
A steak should be at least 1" thick to have

it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time
is atti_cted by the temperature of the meat
when you start to cook it, the size and shape

of the cut and the kind of meat w)u are
cooking. The degree of aloneness desired

also aL_i_cts the time.

The lJ. S. Department of Agriculture says,

"P,are beef is populas; but you shotdd know
