READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
SURFACE BURNERS
• To prevent burns, ignition of flammable materials
and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the
side or back of the cooktop 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 mixtures of oils or fats, stir to combine
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.
• LG does not recommend using a gas cooktop for
the preparation of flaming foods.
If you choose to prepare flaming foods under a
hood, turn the fan on.
• 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 cooktop
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 cooktop.
• If the cooktop is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and catch on fire.
