Cooking Safety
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined
in the Installation Instructions, it is important
that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The
use of a gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed.
• Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated.
Keep natural venting holes open or install a
mechanical ventilation device. Prolonged or
intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional (such as opening a window) or more
eff ective ventilation (such as increasing the
level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot
surface burners, cabinet storage should not be
provided directly above a unit. Temperatures
may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know which
knob controls which surface burner. Make
sure the correct burner is turned on and
that the burner has ignited. When cooking is
completed, turn burner off before removing
pan to prevent exposure to burner fl ame.
• ALWAYS adjust surface burner fl ame so that it
does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the
pan. An excessive fl ame is hazardous, wastes
energy and may damage the appliance, pan
or cabinets above the appliance. This is based
on safety considerations.
• NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers,
build up of pressure may cause the container
to explode and result in injury.
• NEVER wear garments made of fl ammable
material or loose fi tting or long-sleeved
apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or
catch utensil handles.
Do not connect any appliances to the plugs
above or near to the induction cooktop; con-
nection cable insulation can melt if in contact
with heat, and this may result in an injury and
a property damage.
Gas Safety
• To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not
block appliance air vents.
• Have the installer show you where the gas
shut-off valve is located.
• For proper burner performance, keep igniters
clean and dry.
• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open
windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates
before using the appliance.
• Keep the igniter and termocouple clean for
proper lighting performance of the burners.
It is necessary to clean these when there is
a boilover or when the burner does not light
even though the electronic igniters click.
WARNING
To prevent fl are-ups do not use the cooktop
without all burner caps and all burner grates
properly positioned.
Recommended Utensils
• Use pans with fl at bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid
using unstable, warped, easily tipped or
loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans,
especially small pans, with heavy handles as
they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans
that are heavy to move when fi lled with food
may also be hazardous.
• Be sure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size
is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be
sure pan will accommodate the volume of
food that is to be added as well as the bubble
action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of fl ammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend
handles ov+er adjacent surface burners.
ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or
back of the appliance, not out into the room
where they are easily hit or reached by small
children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage
the utensil and the appliance.
• Follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using oven cooking bags.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for
rangetop surface or oven usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Follow manufacturer’s
instructions when using glass.
• Bakeware, such as large casserole pans,
cookie sheets, etc. should never be used on
the rangetop.
• Placement of large stock pots should be
staggered when used on the rangetop.
