IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
•
Do not place flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
•
Do not place or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•
Do not place cooking oils or other flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
•
Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the cooktop.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
•
Do not use water on grease fires. NEVER touch a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
•
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
•
Stepping, leaning or sitting on this cooktop can result in serious injuries and also cause
damage to the cooktop.
•
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
•
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
SURFACE BURNERS
WARNING
•
If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned
to the OFF position. Do not leave the burners ON unattended.
•
Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select
cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spills,
make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will save
cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food. Because heavy spattering
or spills left on a range can ignite, use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool.
•
Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers can cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
•
Always turn 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.
•
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 instead of a pot holder.
•
If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
•
To prevent burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles
toward the side or back of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burners.
•
NEVER place 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.
