Important Safety Instructions
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
• DoNotUseWaterorFlouronGreaseFires—Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemicalorfoam-typeextinguisher.
• 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 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 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.
• Cleantheapplianceregularlytokeepallpartsfree
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.
• UtensilHandlesShouldBeTurnedInwardfrom
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, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• ProtectiveLiners—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.
• GlazedCookingUtensils—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.
• DoNotUseDecorativeSurfaceBurnerCovers. 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):
• DoNotCleanorOperateaBrokenCooktop.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.
• CleanCooktopwithCaution.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.
• DoNotPlaceHotCookwareonColdCooktopGlass.
This could cause glass to break.
• Donotslidepansacrossthecooktopsurface.They
may scratch the cooktop surface.
