WARNING!
SURFACE BURNERS
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover burner grate. 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 cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles that can
be easily grasped and remain cool.
s
Always use the LITE position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
s
Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
s
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 in place of a pot holder.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.
s
When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for cooktop cooking.
s
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or center
of the cooktop without extending over
adjacent burners.
s
Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
s
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
s
Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.
s
Do not leave 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.
s
If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
s
Do not use a wok on the cooking surface
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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
s
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
s
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.
s
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
s
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
s
Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do
flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
s
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left too close to the vent.
s
Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
s
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
and call a qualified service technician. Never
use an open flame to locate a leak.
s
To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
s
Never clean the cooktop surface when it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet
cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot
surface.
s
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or
near your cooktop.
s
Do not use aluminum foil under burner grate.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage
to the cooktop.
s
Do not cover or block the area around the
cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for
proper ventilation and burner performance.
s
Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.
