DWKLJKIODPHVHWWLQJVBoilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch

unburned gas will escape into the room.

hot air from the vent may ignite flammable

may result in carbon monoxide poisoning,
overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a
potential fire hazard.

8VHSURSHUSDQVL]H³avoid pans that are

unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers
and large enough to cover burner grate. This
will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous
accumulations of food, since heavy spattering
or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use
pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool.

burner.

certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.

*UHDVHLVIODPPDEOHLet hot grease cool

before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle grease troughs (some models). Clean
these areas after each use.

will produce poor burner performance. Never
operate the burner without all burner parts in
place.

burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface. Follow manufacturer’s directions.
