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 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 allow-

able 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 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 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.

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. 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.

• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass.

This could cause glass to break.

• Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They
may scratch the cooktop surface.

Do not let pans boil dry. Pans that boil dry may
permanently damage the cooktop by breaking, fusing to,

or marking it. (This type of damage is not covered by
your warranty).

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.
