chemicaJ or foam-type extinguisher.
° When heating fat or grease, watch it cJosely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot,
° Use Onty Dry Pothotders--Moist or damp pot holders
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 buret and resuJt in
injury.
* Know which knob controls each surface burner,
Always turn the knob to the LFE 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 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 grilts on your seaJed
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 cur-
rent 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 fiat 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.
o Clean the appJiance regularJy to keep aH parts free
of grease that couJd 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.
o Utensil Handtes Should BeTurned 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 unintentional
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, ora 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 modeJs):
o 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,
Ctean Cooktop with Caution. If a 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 if applied to a hot surface.

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

element, Check for
flatness by rotating a
ruler across the Figure 1
bottom of the
cookware (See
Figure 1), Be sure to follow the
recommendations for using cookware as
shown in Figure 2,
Note: The size and type of cookware used
wiii influence the setting needed for best
cooking results,
Note: Always use a utensil for its intended
purpose, Follow manufacturer's instructions,
Some utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop,
Using a wok
Woks with fiat bottoms suitable for use on
your cooktop are available in most
cookshop or hardware stores, Round°
bottomed woks (with a support ring that
does not extend beyond the burner unit)
may also be used, The metal ring was
designed to support the wok safely when it
is filled with large amounts of liquids (soup
making) or fat (frying),
CORRECT
o Fiat bottom and straight
sides,
Tight fitting lids,
Weight of handle does not tilt
pan, Pan is well balanced,
o Pan sizes match the amount
of food to be prepared,
Made of material that '_'
conducts heat well,
Easy to clean,

2,5 cm (1"),
o Heavy handle tilts pan,
o Flame extends beyond unit,
Figure 2

Contro_ Locations of the Gas Surface
Burners
Your cooktop is equipped with gas surface burners with
3 different BTU ratings, The ability to heat food quicker
and in larger volumes increases as the burner size
increases,
The small SIMMER burner is best used for simmering
delicate sauces, etc, This burner is located at the right
rear burner position on the cooktop,
The STANDARD burners can be used for most surface
cooking needs, The 2 burners are located at the left
rear and center rear positions,
The POWER burner is best used for bringing large
quantities of liquid rapidly up to temperature or when
preparing larger quantities of food, The POWER burner
is located at the right front, center front and left front
burner position on the cooktop,
Regardless of size, always select cookware that is
suitable for the amount and type of food being prepared,

knob is left in the LITE position,)
Do not operate the burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate, The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat,
Setting Surface Controls
Setting Proper Surface Burner F_ame Size
For most cooking - start on the highest control setting and then turn to a
lower one to compbte the process, Use the recommendations below as a
guide for determining proper flame size for various types of cooking, The size
Correct and type of utensil used and the amount of food being cooked will influence
the setting needed,
*Ftame Size
High Flame
incorrect
Never extend the flame beyond the
outer edge of the utensil, A higher
flame simply wastes heat and energy,
and increases the risk of being burned
by the gas flame,
*Note: Settings are based on using medium-weight metal or aJuminum pans, Settings may vary when using
other types of pans. The color of the flame is the key to proper burner adjustment, A good flame is clear, blue and
hardly visible in a weIMighted room, Each cone of flame should be steady and sharp, Adjust or clean burner if flame is
yellow-orange,
Medium Flame
Low Flame
For deep fat frying -use a thermometer and adjust the surface control knob
accordingly, if the fat is too cool, the food will absorb the fat and be greasy, if
the fat is too hot, the food will brown so quickly that the center will be
undercooked, Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the food
will neither brown nor cook properly,
Type of Cooking
Start most foods; bring water to a boil; pan broiling,
Maintain a slow boil; thicken sauces, gravies; steaming,
Keep foods cooking; poach; stewing,
