important Safety instructions

Use Proper Flame Size--Adjust flame size * Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from Edges

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The of Cooktop and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface
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 slze--This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface burners of difl:erent
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.

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

Sefflngs--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.
