Consumer SupportOperating InstructionsSafety Instructions Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips5ge.comSURFACE BURNERSUse proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottomslarge enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to containthe food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, sinceheavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily graspedand remain cool. Always use the LITE position when ignitingthe top burners and make sure the burnershave ignited. Never leave the surface burners unattendedat high flame settings. Boilovers cause smokingand greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. Adjust the top burner flame size so itdoes not extend beyond the edge of thecookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. Use only dry pot holders— moist or damppot holders on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not let pot holderscome near open flames when liftingcookware. Do not use a towel or other bulkycloth in place of a pot holder. When using glass cookware, make sure itis designed for top-of-range cooking. To minimize the possibility of burns, ignitionof flammable materials and spillage, turncookware handles toward the side or backof the range without extending overadjacent burners. Carefully watch foods being fried at a highflame setting. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Do not leave any items on the cooktop. Thehot air from the vent may ignite flammableitems and will increase pressure in closedcontainers, which may cause them to burst. If a combination of oils or fats will be usedin frying, stir together before heating oras fats melt slowly. Use a deep fat thermometer wheneverpossible to prevent overheating fat beyondthe smoking point. Use the least possible amount of fat foreffective shallow or deep-fat frying. Fillingthe pan too full of fat can cause spilloverswhen food is added. Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you doflame foods under the hood, turn the fan on. Do not use a wok on the cooking surfaceif the wok has a round metal ring that isplaced over the burner grate to support thewok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which maydamage the burner grate and burner head.Also, it may cause the burner to workimproperly. This may cause a carbonmonoxide level above that allowed bycurrent standards, resulting in a healthhazard. Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.Frost on frozen foods or moisture on freshfoods can cause hot fat to bubble up andover the sides of the pan. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallya deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent. Keep all plastics away from the surfaceburners. To avoid the possibility of a burn, always becertain that the controls for all burners areat the OFF position and all grates are coolbefore attempting to remove them. If range is located near a window, do nothang long curtains that could blow over thesurface burners and create a fire hazard. If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the rangeand call a qualified service technician. Neveruse an open flame to locate a leak. Always turn the surface burner controls offbefore removing cookware. Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktopcan lead to damage and improper operationof the range.WARNING!
