IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR US-
ING YOUR GAS COOKTOP
CAUTION
Use Proper Flame Size — Adjust flame
size so it does not extend beyond
the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the burner flame to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
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
removing the cookware.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Select cookware with
flat bottoms that match the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized
cookware may expose a portion of the
flame to direct contact and may result
in the ignition of clothing or other items.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
areas will improve efficiency.
Always turn knob to the full LITE position
when igniting top burners. Visually check
that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame
so it does not extend beyond the edge of
the utensil.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable 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.

ceramic,earthenware, or other glazed
