IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING
Do not store or use flammable materials near the
■
cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens,
wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids .
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
■
using the appliance . Avoid storing commonly used
items in cabinets above the range and be careful when
reaching over the range . Clothing in close proximity to
burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns .
WARNING
Do not use water on grease fires . Never pick up a
■
flaming pan . Turn the controls off . Smother a flaming
pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray . If
necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher .
WARNING
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium
■
or high heat settings . Foods, especially oily foods, may
ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding
cabinets .
Never leave oil unattended while frying . If allowed to
■
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets . Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature .
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
■
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice .
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable
■
or easily tipped . Select cookware that is matched to the
size of the burner . Burner flames should be adjusted so
that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan .
Excessive flame may be hazardous .
Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners
■
and make sure the burners have ignited .
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is
■
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because
of sudden change in temperature .

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
■
accumulate in or near the cooktop . Grease on the
cooktop may ignite .
Clean ventilating hoods frequently . Grease should not
■
be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter .
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
■
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby burners .
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the
■
fan on .
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring . the
■
ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting
in a carbon monoxide hazard .
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop . Doing so may
■
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting
in a gas leak and risk of fire .
When disabling Control Lockout, make sure the surface
■
controls are set to the OFF position . This will prevent
unintended gas flow from the burners .
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line
■
any part of the cooktop . Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard .
