Delayed Ignition

Surface Burners
Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does not
ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF position
and follow directions in "Placing Grates and Burner Caps"
section. Try burner again. If burner still does not ignite in
4 seconds, contact an authorized servicer.

VENTILATION HOOD

1. Clean Ventilation Hood Frequently—Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2. When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The fan,
if operating, may spread the flame.

In Case of Fire

Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive
grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed
as follows:
Surface Burner Fire
1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking
soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not
water. Not salt. Not flour.
2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface
burner controls to OFF .
• As an added precaution, turn off gas supply and
power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.

Precautions

• Do not cook food directly on rangetop surface, always
use cookware.
• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even
hazardous results.
• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They
may stick and melt.
• Do not slide rough metal objects across rangetop
surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.
• Do not use damp sponge or dishcloth to clean rangetop
when range is hot. Steam from sponge or dishcloth can
burn.
• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat
can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage
to cooking surface and pan.
• Do not use rangetop surface as a cutting board.
