•Never leave the cooktop unattended.
•Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass- ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.
•Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.
•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 utensils that have flat bottoms, large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils can expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.
•To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spills, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge of the cooktop.
•Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
•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 ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters click. See care and maintenance section.
•Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
•Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemicals that produce the spraying action can, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.
•To avoid fire hazard, clean the ventilator hood and filters above the cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on them.
•Install a smoke detector in or near the kitchen.
•No warranty claims can be lodged for any damage resulting from failure to observe these instructions. Technical modifications reserved.
•California Proposition 65 Warning: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by- products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.
