WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure 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 range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool

.....Always use the LITE position (on elecuic

ignition models) or the HI position (on

standing pilot models) when igniting the top

bmners and laake sme the bmners have ignited.

.....Never leave the surface burners unattended

at high flame settings, goilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

.....Adjust the top burner flame size so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

.....Use only diT pot holders- moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

fiom steam. Do not let pot holders come

near open flames when lilting cookware. Do

not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place

of a pot holder.

.....When using glass cookware, make sure it

is designed for top-of-range cooking.

.....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.

.....Carethlly watch foods being tiied at a high

flame setting.

Ahvays heat tat slowly, and watch as it heats.

.....Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The

hot air Dom the vent may i_fite flammable

items and will increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst.

.....It a combination of oils or tats will be used in

tiTing, stir together before heating or as tats

melt slowly.

.....Use a deep tat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating tat beyond

the smoking point.

.....Use the least possible amount of fat for

effective shallow or deep-tat tiTing. Filling the

pan too thll of fat can cause spillovers when

food isadded.

.....When flaming foods are under the hood,

turn the tan off. The tan, it operating, may

spread the flames.

.....Do not use a wok on the cooking surface it

the wok has a round metal ring that is placed

over the burner grate m 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 m work improperly.

This may cause a carbon monoxide level

above that allowed by current standards,

resulting in a health hazard.

.....Foods for tiTing should be as dU as possible.

Frost on tiozen foods or moisture on tiesh

foods can cause hot tat to bubble up and

over the sides of the pan.

.....Never uT to move a pan of hot tat, especially

a deep tat tiTer. Wait until the fat is cool.

.....Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop-

they may melt it left too close to the vent.

.....Keep all plastics away Dom the surface

burners.

.....To avoid the possibility of a burn, ahvays be

certain that the controls for all burners are

at the OFFposition and all grates are cool

before attempting to remove them.

.....Itrange islocated near a window, do not

hang long curtains that could blow over the

surface burners and create a fire hazard.

.....When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot

models), you will detect a taint odor of gas

as your signal to relight the pilot. When

relighting the pilot, make sure burner

controls are in the OFFposition, and follow

instructions in this manual to relight.

.....ffyou smell gas, and you have already made

sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models),

turn off the gas to the range and call a

qualilied soMce technician. Never use an

open flame to locate a leak.

.....Be carethl when you clean the cooktop

because the area over the pilot (on standing

pilot models) will be hot.

.....Ahvays turn the surface burner controls off

before removing cookware.
