IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
SURFACE BURNERS
• NEVER leave the surface burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Always turn knob to the “LITE” position when igniting
the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
• Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is
hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
Instead of a pot holder.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for
top-of-range cooking.
• To prevent burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back
of the range without extending over adjacent burners.
• NEVER place any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats stir together before
heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow
or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
• DO NOT flame foods on the cooktop.
• DO NOT use a wok on the surface burners if the wok
has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner
grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap,
which may damage the burner grate and burner head.
Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This
may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed
by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or
moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and
over the sides of the pan.
• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep
fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• DO NOT place plastic items on the cooktop—they may
melt if left too close to the vent.
• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
• To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all
burners are at the “OFF” position and all grates are
cool before attempting to remove them.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a
qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to
locate a leak.
• Always turn knob to the “OFF” position before removing
cookware.
• DO NOT lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause
damage and improper operation of the range.
• If range is located near a window, do not hang long
curtains that could blow over the surface burners and
catch on fire.
WARNING:
• If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to
the burner until the knob is turned to the “OFF”
position. Do not leave the burners “ON” unattended.
• Use proper pan size - DO NOT use pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To
avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough
to contain the food properly. This will both save
cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations
of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on
range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
