SECTION ONE: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

•Never leave the cooktop un- attended when using high flame settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. 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 utensil may break with sudden tempera- ture changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s direc- tions.

•Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pressure 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 be- yond the bottom of the pan.

•Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable mate- rial toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend 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 could expose a portion of the flame and may re- sult in ignition of clothing.

•To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and uninten- tional 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 uten- sil 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 grill burner be- neath or burners adjacent to it.

•GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before at- tempting 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 electronic igniters click. See Page 24.

•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 controls are turned off and the cook- top is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the spraying action could,

in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Ser- vice should only be done by autho- rized technicians.Technicians must disconnect the power supply be- fore servicing this unit.

•Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the cooktop frequently so grease from cook- ing vapors does not accumulate on them.

•Turn the ventilator ON in case of fire or when intention- ally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop.

•Install a smoke detector in or near the kitchen.

•If a burner goes out and gas es- capes, turn the control knob off. Open a window or door. Do not attempt to use the cooktop until the gas has had time to dissipate.

•California Proposition 65 Warning:The burning of gas cook- ing fuel and the elimination of soil during self-cleaning generate some by-products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause can- cer or reproductive harm. Califor- nia law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.To minimize expo- sure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this book- let and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas, during and immediately after self- cleaning the oven.
