IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SURFACE BURNERS

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

Service Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions

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

■Always turn the surface burner controls off before removing cookware.

■Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.

■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■Do 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.

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

■Do 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.

■Foods 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.

■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.

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

■Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

■When flaming foods are under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

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

■Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.

■If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

■To 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.

■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on or near your cooktop

■Don’t use aluminum foil to line drip pans. Misuse could result in a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop.

■Do not cover or block the area around the cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear for proper ventilation and burner performance.

■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
