IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
•
Read this use & care guide carefully before using
your new gas cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
•
Ensure proper installation and servicing. This
appliance must be properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
•
Have installer show you where the gas supply
shut-off valve is located in your home. Learn how
and where to turn off the gas to the cooktop.
•
Before performing any service, turn off the gas
supply by closing the gas shut-off valve and unplug
the cooktop power cord from the electrical outlet.
•
Keep igniters clean and dry for proper lighting and
performance for the burners.
•
In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open a window or a door. Wait at least five minutes
before using the cooktop.
•
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible
material.
•
When cooking, set burner controls so that the flame
does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
•
Always check the positions of the control knobs to
make certain the cooktop is off when you are
finished cooking.
•
Always use dry pot holders when removing pans
from the cooktop. Wet or damp pot holders can
cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky
cloth in place of pot holders.
•
When deep fat frying, be sure the pan is large
enough to accommodate the food without overflowing when fat begins to bubble. Heat fat slowly. Never
leave a deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat
frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with a
high water content may cause the hot fat to spatter.
Use a thermometer to avoid heating the fat above
the flash point.
•
Choose pans with easily grasped handles that will
stay cool while cooking. Refer to cookware selection
on page 16.
•
Always turn panhandles inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the
edge of the cooktop.
•
Always light each burner prior to placing a pan on
the burner grate. Also, turn the control knob to the
OFF position before removing a pan from the burner
grate.
•
Start the ventilation hood approximately five minutes
before cooking. This establishes an air curtain and
improves the capture of vapor and moisture.
•
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose clothing or
other flammable materials come in contact with the
burners while in operation. Fabric may ignite and
cause personal injury.
