& in or near the cooktop.

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

* Never leave surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

●Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

, c Use only dry pot holders——

moist or damp pot holders on hot

Bsurfaces 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.

both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous

accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or

spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans

cooktop. This could cause glass to break.

● When using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of range cooking.

● Keep all plastics away from top burners.

● To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove a grate.

●If cooktop is located near a window, do not use

long curtains which could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

●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.

●Don’t use aluminum foil to line burner bowls.

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.
