SAFETY DURING USE
• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You should supervise cooking when
preparing foods in fat or oil.
• Turn off all burners after use.
• Never place combustible items on the cooktop.
• Never keep any combustible items or aerosol cans in a drawer located under the
cooktop.
• 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.
• 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. Refer to hood
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
• Use Proper Pan Sizes. Do not use pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select
cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make
sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning
time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left
on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
• NEVER let the flames extend up the sides of the cookware for safe handling of
cookware. Flames larger than the bottom of the cookware will not result in faster heating of
the cookware and could be hazardous.
• Do not place any object on or near the gas knob control area.
• Do not let pot holders come in contact with open flame when lifting cookware off
burners.
• Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
• Always the turn knob to the "LITE" the position when igniting the top burners and
make sure the burners have ignited.
• 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.
• Ventilating hood: The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be
cleaned frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the
hood or filter.
