IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 current
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• 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. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the
food. Any other use of 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.
