n Always use the LITE position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
n Never leave the surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
n Adjust the top burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
n Use only 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
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot
holder.
n When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.
n To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or back of the range
without extending over adjacent burners.
n Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame
setting.
n Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
n 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.
n If a combination of oils or fats will be used in
frying, stir together before heating or as fats
melt slowly.
n Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
n 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.
n Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame
foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
n 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.
n 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.
n Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
n Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they
may melt if left too close to the vent.
n Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
n 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.
n If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the surface
burners and create a fire hazard.
n 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.
n Always turn the surface burner controls off
before removing cookware.
n Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models.
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
