Cooktop Safety - Samsung NSG6 85 Series User Manual

• Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet
storage above the range is necessary, allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches
(102 cm) between the cooking surface and the bottom of the cabinets or install
a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor
air circulation.
• If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds
on that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a
fire hazard.

Cooktop safety

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
• Make sure all burners are off when you are not
using the range.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or
any part of the cooktop. This can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not
leave burners unattended on medium or high
heat settings.
• Before igniting the burners, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and
all burners are level.
- If you set and use the knob button of safety knob, the original safety function
does not work normally.
• Always use the Lite position when igniting the burners and make sure the
burners have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to Off and wait until the gas
has dissipated.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the
flame stays on.
• Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
• To flame food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you flame food, the hood
must be on.
• Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
• Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
• Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is off
and completely cool.
• After cleaning the burner head, make sure it is completely dry before re-
assembling.
• Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner head is placed beside the electrode
when it is assembled.
• To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well
while cleaning.
• 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.
