IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and Save These Instructions

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the rangetop. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the rangetop.

WARNING:

The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the rangetop to warm or heat a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the unit. Also, such use can damage the rangetop parts.

When using the rangetop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER

GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.

Never leave the rangetop unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the room. See page 1 regarding gas leaks.

Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooking on the rangetop burners. This type of cookware may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

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 extend beyond the edges of the pot.

Always use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.

WARNING:

Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful by- products.

To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of pots and pans inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the rangetop.

DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory (purchased separately). Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc., should never be used on the rangetop.

DO NOT use flammable cleaners to clean the rangetop.

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

Remove the optional cutting board or griddle cover accessory, which is stored on top of the griddle plate, before operating the griddle or any adjacent burners.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use.

For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters activate. See cleaning instructions for the “Brass Burner Base and Cast Iron Cap”.

Clean the rangetop with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO NOT use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the rangetop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
