Cooktop Safety Guidelines
There are dual ring burners have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle simmering
(650 BTU/hr.). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking rice and delicate
sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.
✓
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills
that may ignite.
✓
Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up on sides. This could discolor and
damage the pot and you may get burned touching the hot handle.
✓
Turn handles so that they don’t extend over the edge of the range or on a burner that is on.
✓
Take care when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
✓
Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled
burners may produce dangerous flames. See “Replacing the burner parts” in “Care and
cleaning.”
✓
Keep the burners clean, especially after a spill or boil over, make sure you clean the affected
burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter and the notches of the
flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See “Care and cleaning” for
instructions.
✓
Burner flames should be blue with no yellow tipping, and burn without fluttering all around the
burner cap. If not, see “Troubleshooting” for advice.
