Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the
following precautions.
•
Always use the Lite position when igniting the burners and make sure the
burners have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the
gas has dissipated.
•
When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the
flame stays on.
•
Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
This cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok ring attachment. If foods
•
are flamed, they should only be flamed under a ventilation hood that is on.
•
Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
•
Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
•
Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is
off and completely cool.
•
After cleaning the burner spreader, make sure it is completely dry before re-
assembling.
•
Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is placed beside the
electrode when it is assembled.
•
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well
while cleaning.
•
Select cookware that is designed for top-range cooking. Use cookware that is
large enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the
flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.

•
Make sure all burners are off when not
in use.
•
Do not use aluminium foil to line the
grates or any part of the cooktop.
•
Do not leave burners unattended on
medium or high heat settings.
•
Before igniting, make sure all burner
caps are properly in place and all
burners are level.
•
To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide
poisoning, do not use cookware that is exceedingly larger than the grate.
Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but
•
not over other surface burners.
•
Stand away from the range while frying.
•
Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods
at high heat, carefully watch during the cooking process. If a combination of
fats or oils is to be used during frying, mix them together before heating.
•
Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating
the fryer beyond the smoking point.
•
Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid
cooking unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice.
•
Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely
cooled.
•
To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at
least 20 seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature
in the liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first aid
instructions:
1.
Immerse the scaled area in cool or lukewarm water for at least
10 minutes.
2.
Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3.
Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
