IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
SURFACE BURNERS
WARNING
•
Even if the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is
turned to the Off position. If you smell gas, immediately open a window and ventilate
the area for five minutes prior to using the burner. Do not leave the burners on
unattended.
•
Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that are unstable or that can be easily tipped.
Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover burners. To avoid spillovers,
make sure the cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both
save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Pans should not be larger than
11 in.(280 mm) in diameter. Use of oversized pans may discolor the stainless areas
around the cooktop perimeter. Clean discolored areas with stainless steel appliance
cleaner. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
CAUTION
•
Be sure that all surface controls are set in the Off position prior to supplying gas to the
range.
•
Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers may
cause smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
•
Always turn the knobs to the Lite position when igniting the top burners and make sure
the burners have ignited.
•
Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
•
Only use dry pot holders- moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
Do not use towels or other bulky cloth items. Use a pot holder.
•
If using glass cookware, make sure the cookware is designed for range-top cooking.
•
To prevent burns from ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles
toward the side or back of the range without extending them over adjacent burners.
•
Never 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.
•
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
•
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
•
If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir together before heating.
•
Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent fat from heating beyond the smoking
point.
•
Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the
pan with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
•
Do not cook foods directly on an open flame on the cooktop.
•
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot
fat to bubble up and spill over the sides of the pan.
•
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
•
Do not place plastic items on the cooktop- they may melt if left too close to the vent.
•
Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
•
To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all burners are in the Off position
and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
•
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician.
Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
