General Precautions

IMPORTANT
• Begin by ensuring proper installation and
grounding of the appliance by a qualified
technician according to the accompanying
Installation Instructions. Have the installer show
you where the fuse or junction box is located so
that you know how and where to turn off power.
Also, have the installer show you the location of
the gas supply. If you smell gas, do not use the
appliance. Immediately turn off the gas supply at
the shut off valve, disconnect electrical power to
the appliance at the fuse or junction box and
contact the gas supplier or qualified appliance
technician.
• Ensure that the appliance is used only by those
individuals who are able to operate it properly.
• Use the appliance only for cooking tasks
expected of a home appliance as outlined in this
manual.
• Properly clean and maintain as recommended in
this manual, cleaning only the parts listed.
• Use only dry potholders to avoid steam burns
when removing hot cookware.
• In the event that a burner flame goes out
and gas escapes, open a window or door. Wait
at least 5 minutes before attempting to use the
cooktop.
• Select utensils of the proper size, material and
construction for the particular type of cooking
being done. Select utensils that are large enough
to contain food without boil-overs or spillovers.
Choose pans with easily grasped handles that
will stay cool while cooking. Do not use
utensils with loose handles. Avoid using
pans that are too heavy to lift safely. Use
cookware only for its intended purpose. Certain
types of glass, ceramic, and earthenware
utensils are suitable for use only in an
oven and not in cooktop applications.
• When cooking, set the burner controls so that
the flame heats only the bottom of the utensil
and does not extend up the sides of the utensil.
• When deep fat frying, be certain that the pan
is large enough to contain the desired volume
of food without overflow caused by bubbling of
the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended.
Avoid deep fat frying of moist or frost-covered
foods. Foods with high water content may cause
spattering or spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat
slowly and stir together any combinations of oils
