Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
•
Make sure all burners are off when not in use.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the cooktop. This can cause
carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
• Before igniting, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and all burners are
level.
• 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 for the gas to dissipate
before re-igniting the burner.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the flame
stays on.
• To heat food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you heat food, the hood must be
on.
• Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
• Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
• Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is off 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 cooktop cooking. Use recommended cookware no
larger than the cooktop grates.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not
use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
• Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but not over
other surface burners or the front edge of the cooktop.
• Do not stand directly over a pot while frying food.
• Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at high
heat, carefully monitor the cooking process. If you are going to combine fats or oils
when frying, mix them before heating.
• Use a deep-fry thermometer when possible so you do not heat the oil beyond its
smoke point.
