Gas Cooking Safety

•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.

•Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not blow flam- mable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.

•Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

•For proper lighting and performance of burners, keep igniters clean and dry.

•In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door. Wait at least 5 minutes before using the cooktop.

•Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
