WARNING!

Use proper pan size—avoid 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.

Safety Instructions

nAlways use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

nNever leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

nAdjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

nUse 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 in place of a pot holder.

nWhen using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

nTo minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

nCarefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

nAlways heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

nDo not leave 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.

nIf a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

nUse a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

nUse 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.

nDo not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

nDo not use a wok on the cooking surface 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.

nFoods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

nNever try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

nDo not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.

nKeep all plastics away from the surface burners.

nTo avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

nIf range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the surface burners and create a fire hazard.

nIf 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.

nAlways turn the surface burner controls off before removing cookware.

nDo not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation

of the range.
