Operating Instructions

Using Gas Safely

Gas fuels and their uses can cause minor exposure to benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Properly adjusted burners with a blue, rather than yellow, flame will minimize the incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood, or open window will further minimize exposure.

￿The maximum gas supply pressure may not exceed 14-inches W.C.P. (½ PSI)

￿Never use a match or other flame to locate a gas leak. Explosion, fire or injury could result.

￿Know where your main gas shut off valve is located.

￿Use proper pan size. Select stable cookware with flat, bottoms.

￿Cookware should be large enough to contain the food and avoid spillovers. This will save cleaning time and avoid accumulations of food debris, which can ignite.

￿Use pans with handles that remain cool and are easy to hold.

￿Always turn the burner controls off before removing cookware.

How to Light a Burner

Your cook top burners have electric ignition, thus avoiding constantly burning pilot lights. Push the control knob down and turn it counter- clockwise to the first mark to ignite. This is your highest setting. After the burner ignites, you may turn the knob counter-clockwise to adjust the flame setting. To turn the burner off, turn the knob clockwise to the symbol .

In case of a power failure, you can light the burners with a match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the control knob 90 degrees counterclockwise. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way. Burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
