Cooking Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
• Pot/pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over surface burners.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the pot/pan, the handle of the utensil should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Use aluminum foil only to
cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
cookware are suitable for use without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.
WARNING
Never leave surface burners unattended. Boilovers cause smoke and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the
decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the appliance or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be
blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
• Always use a proper flame size. Adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond
the edge of the pot/pan. The use of undersized pots/pans will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Adjusting the flame
size to appropriate levels will also improve efficiency.
• Always use proper pot/pan and cookware sizes. This appliance is equipped with
surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit.
• Do not use stove top grills on your gas appliance. If you use a stove top grill on a
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to
carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to
your health.
