Important safety information
• 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 range top 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.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do
not use cookware that is substantially 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 you are going to use a
combination of fats or oils when 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 scalded 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.

• Place pots in the center of the grate. Do not
place a pot larger than 9" in diameter on the
rear burners. If you place an oversized pot in
the wrong position, it might disrupt necessary
air circulation and make the flame on the burner
sputter and burn inefficiently.
• Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite
and burn you if they touch a surface burner.
• Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or
ignite plastic items or cause a build up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic
containers.
• Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on the
cooktop. Damage or fire could occur if the cooktop is hot.
• Always make sure foods being fried are thawed and dry. Moisture of any kind
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you
remove them to prevent any possibility of being burned.
• Do not put any combustible material or items around the range.
• Take care that your hands do not touch the burners when they are on. Turn off
the burners when you change a pan or pot.
• To warm liquid such as sauces, stir it while warming.
