important Safety I
• Do Hot Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smoth-
er 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 hold-
ers on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let the potholders 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.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner.
Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting
the burners. Visually check that the burner 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 it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a por-
tion 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, it will 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.
nstructions
Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventila-
tion 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 flam-
ing food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward from
Edges of Cooktop and Not Extend Over Adjacent
Surface Burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due to uninten-
tional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High
Heat 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 com-
bustion. 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 cook-
top 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
