chemical or foam=type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire ifallowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders--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 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 portion
of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in
ignitionof 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 inexposure to carbon monoxide levels above allow-
able current standards. This can be hazardous to your

health.

surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may result
in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the

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

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 intemperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop

use.

Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a

burner isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able
to see that the burner ison. Burns will occur ifthe 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. if

cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create
a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician

immediately.

= Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They

may scratch the cooktop surface.

= Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of

instructions for cleaning.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from Edges
