Section One: General Safety Instructions

! CAUTION

•Never leave the cooktop un- attended when using high flame settings. Boil-overs cause smok- ing and greasy spills that may ig- nite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See inside the front cover regarding gas leaks.

•Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ce- ramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. This type of uten- sil may break with sudden tem- perature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings ac- cording to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

•Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pres- sure may cause the container to burst.

•During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

•Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they ex- tend beyond the edges of the pot.

•Always use utensils that have flat bottoms, large enough to cover the burner. The use of un- dersized utensils can expose a portion of the flame and may re- sult in ignition of clothing.

•To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unin- tentional spills, position handles

of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge of the cooktop.

•Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

•Do not use the grill for cook- ing excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare- ups.

•The optional cutting board ac- cessory must be removed be- fore operating the griddle.

•GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempt- ing to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean af- ter each use.

•For proper lighting and perfor- mance of the burners, keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the elec- tronic igniters click. See Page 27.

!WARNING

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and clean around the burner and burner port. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

•Clean the cooktop with cau- tion. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

•Be sure all cooktop and grill controls are turned off and the cooktop and grill are cool be- fore using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cook- top. The chemicals that produce the spraying action can, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Service should only be done by autho- rized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power sup- ply before servicing this unit.

•CAUTION: To avoid fire hazzard, clean the ventilator hood and filters above the cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on them.

•In case of fire or when inten- tionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop, follow hood manufacturer’s in- structions.

•Install a smoke detector in or near the kitchen.

•California Proposition 65 Warning: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by- products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires busi- nesses to warn customers of po- tential exposure to such sub- stances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always oper- ate this unit according to the in- structions contained in this book- let and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.
