SURFACE BURNER WARNINGS
WARNING
Follow basic precautions when installing and using this range
to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury, or death to
persons, including:
Use proper pan sizes. Avoid pans that are unstable or
warped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough
to cover the burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure
cookware is large enough to contain your food. 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.
Do not use pots or pans larger than the grate on a grate.
Using pots or pans larger than a grate may cause the pots
or pans to discolor or deform. It can also cause units or the
wall around the grate to ignite and may generate excess
carbon monoxide.
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
burners. Make sure the burners have ignited.
If ignition fails, turn the knob to Off and wait until the gas
already emitted has dissipated. If you keep the knob in
the LITE position without proper ignition, the emitted gas
might cause an explosion.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at HIGH flame
settings. Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy spillovers
can ignite.
Stand away from the range when frying.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Flames that extend past
cookware edges can be hazardous.
To decrease spattering when cooking foods with lots of
liquid, such as meat sauce or stew, adjust the the flame to
low and stir frequently.
Only use dry pot holders. Pot holders with moisture in
them can release steam and cause burns if they come in
contact with hot surfaces.
