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.
