Surface Burners - LG LSCG366ST Owner's Manual

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

SURFACE BURNERS

WARNING
• If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still
flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to
the "OFF" position.
Do not leave the burners "ON" unattended.
• Use proper pan size —Do not use pans that
are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
burner grates. To avoid spills, make sure
cookware is large enough to contain the food
properly. This will save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
Since heavy spattering or spills left on a range
can ignite, use pans with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boiling overs can cause smoking.
Smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Always turn knobs to the "LITE" position when
igniting the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
• Control the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam.
Do not let pot holders come near open flames when
lifting cookware.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
pot holder.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed
for top-of-range cooking.
• 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.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame
setting.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combination of oils or fats, stir together
before heating or as fats melt slowly.
• 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.
Frest 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.
