01 BEFORE YOU BEGIN & IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners have
ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas has dissipated.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the flame
stays on.
• Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
• This cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok ring attachment. If foods are flamed,
they should only be flamed under a ventilation hood that is on.
• Before removing or changing cookware, turn o the burners.
• Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
• Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is o and
completely cool.
• After cleaning the burner spreader, make sure it is completely dry before re-assembling.
• Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is placed beside the electrode
when it is assembled.
• To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well while
cleaning.
• Select cookware that is designed for top-range cooking. Use cookware that is large
enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the flames do not
extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not
use cookware that is exceedingly larger than the grate.
• Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but not over
other surface burners.
• Stand away from the range while frying.
• Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at high heat,
carefully watch during the cooking process. If a combination of fats or oils is to be used
during frying, mix them together before heating.
• Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating the fryer
beyond the smoking point.
• Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid cooking
unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice.
• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled.
• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least 20
seconds after you have turned o the burner so that the temperature in the liquid can
stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first aid instructions:
1) Immerse the scaled area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
2) Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3) Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
