important Safety instructions
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical
or foam=type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
letthe pothoJders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurfaceburner.AIways
turn the knob to the LITE position when ignitingthe burners.
Visually check that the bumer has lit.Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size
so itdoes not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The
use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve
efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas
burner, itwill cause incomplete combustion and can result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Use proper pan size--This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottom large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface burner will also improve efficiency.
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Utensil Handles Should BeTurned Inward from Edges
of Cooktop and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignitionof flammable
materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned sothat
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
• NeverLeaveSurfaceBurnersUnattendedatHighHeat
Settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil may
interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion.
Damage to the cooktop or personal injury may result.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. if a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see
that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or
burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air
will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems.
GLASS COOKTOPS (some models):
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. Ifcooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cooktop with Caution. Ifa wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.

This could cause glass to break.
• Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They
may scratch the cooktop surface.
