Important safety information
• Select cookware that is designed for range top cooking. Use cookware that is
large enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the
flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning,
do not use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
• Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but
not over other surface burners.
• Stand away from the range while frying.
• Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at
high heat, carefully watch during the cooking process. If you are going to use a
combination of fats or oils when frying, mix them together before heating.
• Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating the
fryer beyond the smoking point.
• Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid
cooking unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice.
• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled.
• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least
20 seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature in the
liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first aid instructions:
1. Immerse the scalded area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3. Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
• Place pots in the center of the grate. Do not
place a pot larger than 9" in diameter on the
rear burners. If you place an oversized pot in
the wrong position, it might disrupt necessary
air circulation and make the flame on the burner
sputter and burn inefficiently.
• Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite
and burn you if they touch a surface burner.

• Do not leave plastic items on top of the range. Hot air from the vents on top
of the range can melt the plastic and may cause pressure build-up in closed
plastic containers. The melted plastic may clog the vents at the rear of the range.
Clogged vents may cause incorrect combustion which could result in gas leaks
and fire. You may get severe burns if you touch the surfaces near the vent while
the oven is operating.
• Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on the
cooktop. Damage or fire could occur if the cooktop is hot.
• Always make sure foods being fried are thawed and dry. Moisture of any kind
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Always make sure the controls are off and the grates are cool before you remove
them to prevent any possibility of being burned.
• Do not put any combustible material or items around the range.
• Take care that your hands do not touch the burners when they are on. Turn off
the burners when you change a pan or pot.
• To warm liquid, such as sauces, stir it while warming.
