Important safety information
Important safety information
• This cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok ring attachment. To ame food, you
must have a ventilation hood. When you ame food, the hood must be on.
• Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
• Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
• Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is off and
completely cool.
• After cleaning the burner spreader, make sure it is completely dry before re-assembling.
• Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is placed beside the electrode when
it is assembled.
• To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well while
cleaning.
• Select cookware that is designed for range top cooking. Use cookware that is large enough
to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner ames so that the ames do not extend
beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not use
cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
• Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but not over
other surface burners.
• Stand away from the range while frying.
• Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at high heat,
carefully watch during the cooking process. If you are going to use a combination of fats or
oils when frying, mix them together before heating.
• Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating the fryer
beyond the smoking point.
• Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid cooking
unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice.
• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled.
• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least 20
seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature in the liquid can
stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these rst aid instructions:
1. Immerse the scalded area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3. Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
• For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range’s vents are not blocked, and that
there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the range. The vents allow
the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °C)
generated by the range.
• Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage
above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches (102 cm) between
the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
• Locate the range out of kitchen trafc paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air
circulation.
• If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on that
window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a re hazard.
COOKTOP SAFETY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the following
precautions.
• Make sure all burners are off when not in use.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any
part of the cooktop. It may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a re hazard.
• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high
heat settings.
• Before igniting, make sure all burner caps are
properly in place and all burners are level.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners have
ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas has dissipated.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the ame stays
on.
• Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
