important Safety I
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry
chemical
or foam=type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders--Moist
or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let the potholders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder,
• Do Not Heat Unopened
Food Containers--Buildup
of
pressure may cause container
to burst and result in
injury.
Know
which
knob
controls
each
surface
burner.
Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting the
burners. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust
the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil.
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.
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed
gas burners.
If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas
burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in
exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable cur-
rent standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
Use proper pan size--This
appliance
is
equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes.
Select utensils having flat bottom large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface burner will also improve efficiency.
• Clean the appliance
regularly
to keep all parts free
of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or
filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When
flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood
manufacturer's
instructions for cleaning.
,, Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward from Edges
of Cooktop
and Not Extend
Over Adjacent
Surface
Burners--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.
nstructions
Never Leave Surface
Burners
Unattended
at High
Heat Settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt.
Protective
Liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil
may interfere
with
heat
and air distribution,
and
combustion.
Damage to the cooktop or personal injury
may result.
Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only
certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the
manufacturer's
recommendations
for cooktop use.
Do Not Use Decorative Surface
Burner Covers.
If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see
that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are
touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or
burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air
will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion
problems.
GLASS COOKTOPS
(some models):
,, Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop.
if cooktop
should break, cleaning
solutions
and spillovers
may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cooktop
with Caution.
If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
,, Do Not Place Hot Cookware
on Cold Cooktop
Glass.
This could cause glass to break.
,, Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They
may scratch the cooktop surface.
Do not let pans boil
dry.
Pans that boil dry may
permanently damage the cooktop by breaking, fusing to,
or marking it. (This type of damage is not covered by your
warranty).
IMPORTANT
SAFETY
NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the state to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
