Stove Top Grills
Do not use stove top grills on gour sealed
gas bumers. If you use the stove top grill on
the sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete
combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levelsabove allowable
current standards.
This can be hazardous to your health.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
Wok ThisWay
We recommend that you use a 14-inch or
smaller flat-bottomed wok. Hake sure the wok
bottom sits flat on the grate. They are
available at your local retail store.
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.
Do not use a wok support ring. Placingthe
ring over the burner or grate mag cause the
burner to work improperly, resulting in carbon
monoxide levels above allowable standards.
This could be dangerous to your health.
In Case of Power Failure

gas surface burners on your range with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner,then
push in and turn the control knob to the LITE
position. Use extreme caution when lighting

power failure occurs will continue to operate
normally.
