READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

SURFACE BURNERS

WARNING:
• If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing
to the burner until the knob is turned to the "OFF"
position. Do not leave the burners "ON"
unattended.
• Use proper pan size - 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 leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Always turn knob to the "LITE" position when
igniting the top burners and make sure the burners
have ignited.
• Control the top burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive
flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders come near open
flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth Instead of a pot holder.
• Using glass cookware—make sure it is designed for
top-of-range cooking.
• To prevent burns, ignition of flammable materials
and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side
or back of the range without extending over adjacent
burners.
• NEVER place any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame
setting.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats stir together
before heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent
overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of
fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• DO NOT flame foods on 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.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost
or moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up
and over the sides of the pan.
• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• DO NOT place plastic items on the cooktop—they
may melt if left too close to the vent.
• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
• To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls
for all burners are at the "OFF" position and all
grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and
call a qualified service technician. Never use an
open flame to locate a leak.
• Always turn knob to the "OFF" position before
removing cookware.
• DO NOT lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can
cause damage and improper operation of the range.
• If range is located near a window, do not hang long
curtains that could blow over the surface burners
and catch on fire.
