IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
CAUTION
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust fl ame
size so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil. The use of under-
sized utensils will expose a portion of
the burner fl ame to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to fl ame will also
improve effi ciency.
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area off before re-
moving the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of diff erent sizes. Select cookware with fl at
bottoms that match the surface unit heat-
ing element. The use of undersized cook-
ware may expose a portion of the fl ame to
direct contact and may result in the igni-
tion of clothing or other items. Using the
proper cookware on the cooking areas will
improve effi ciency.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check
that burner has lit. Then adjust the fl ame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of
the utensil.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
fl ammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface burners
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings — Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spill overs that may
ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceram-
ic,earthenware, or other glazed utensils
