CAUTIOn
• Be sure that all surface controls are set in the Off position prior to supplying gas to the
range.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers may
cause smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Always turn the 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.
• Only use 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 towels or other bulky cloth items. Use a pot holder.
• If using glass cookware, make sure the cookware is designed for range-top cooking.
• To prevent burns from ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or back of the range without extending them over adjacent
burners.
• Never leave 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.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir together before heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent overheating fat from heating beyond
the smoking point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the
pan with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• Do not cook foods directly on an open flame on the cooktop.
• Do not use a wok on the surface burners if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which
may damage the burner grate and burner head. It may also cause the burner to work
improperly. This may cause carbon monoxide levels which are higher than what is
allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot
fat to bubble up and spill over the sides of the pan.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Do not place plastic items on the cooktop- they may melt if left too close to the vent.
• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
• To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all burners are in the Off position
and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician.
Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
• Always turn the knobs to the Off position before removing cookware.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation
of the range.
• If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over
the surface burners and catch on fire.
• Use care when cleaning the cooktop. The pointed metal ends on the electrodes could
cause injury.
