Use proper pan size—Avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers, and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

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 a grate.

If the cooktop is located near a window, do not use long curtains which could blow over the 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.

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

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160° F. and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180° F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

When using glass cookware make sure it is designed for cooktop cooking.

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

Do not touch grill and surface burner areas, or perimeter trim around cooktop. During and after use, these areas may be hot enough to cause burns. Avoid contact with these areas by clothing or other flammable materials until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Do not use cookware on the grill section of this cooktop.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

Keep all controls “OFF” when the cooktop is not in use.

Always allow hot pans to cool in a safe place out of the reach of small children.

This cooktop has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use stovetop grills or burner covers for the surface burners. The use of devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result

in performance problems and reduce the life of the components.

Do not use aluminum foil to line aeration tray or burner basin. Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe operation.

Keep plastic away from all burners.

Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring which 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.
