• 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 the 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 traffic 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
fire hazard.
Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
• Make sure all burners are off when you are not
using the range.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or
any part of the cooktop. This can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not
leave burners unattended on medium or high
heat settings.
• Before igniting the burners, 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
flame stays on.
• Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
• This cooktop is designed for use with a wok or wok ring attachment.
• To flame food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you flame 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 head, make sure it is completely dry before re-
assembling.
• Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner head is placed beside the electrode
when it is assembled.
• To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well
while cleaning.
