IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.Operating Instructions6Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsCustomer ServiceUse 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.WARNING!SURFACE BURNERSn Always use theLITE position (on electricignition models) or theHI position (onstanding pilot models) when igniting the topburners and make sure the burners have ignited.n Never leave the surface burners unattendedat high flame settings. Boilovers cause smokingand greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.n Adjust the top burner flame size so it doesnot extend beyond the edge of the cookware.Excessive flame is hazardous.n Use only dry pot holders— moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burnsfrom steam. Do not let pot holders comenear open flames when lifting cookware. Donot use a towel or other bulky cloth in placeof a pot holder.n When using glass cookware, make sure itis designed for top-of-range cooking.n To minimize the possibility of burns, ignitionof flammable materials and spillage, turncookware handles toward the side or backof the range without extending over adjacentburners.n Carefully watch foods being fried at a highflame setting.n Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.n 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.n If a combination of oils or fats will be used infrying, stir together before heating or as fatsmelt slowly.n Use a deep fat thermometer wheneverpossible to prevent overheating fat beyondthe smoking point.n Use the least possible amount of fat foreffective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling thepan too full of fat can cause spillovers whenfood is added.n When flaming foods are under the hood,turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, mayspread the flames.n Do not use a wok on the cooking surface ifthe wok has a round metal ring that is placedover the burner grate to support the wok. Thisring acts as a heat trap, which may damagethe burner grate and burner head. Also, itmay cause the burner to work improperly.This may cause a carbon monoxide levelabove that allowed by current standards,resulting in a health hazard.n 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.n Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especiallya deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.n Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent.n Keep all plastics away from the surfaceburners.n To avoid the possibility of a burn, always becertain that the controls for all burners areat theOFF position and all grates are coolbefore attempting to remove them.n If range is located near a window, do nothang long curtains that could blow over thesurface burners and create a fire hazard.n When a pilot goes out (on standing pilotmodels), you will detect a faint odor of gasas your signal to relight the pilot. Whenrelighting the pilot, make sure burnercontrols are in theOFF position, and followinstructions in this manual to relight.n If you smell gas, and you have already madesure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models),turn off the gas to the range and call aqualified service technician. Never use anopen flame to locate a leak.n Be careful when you clean the cooktopbecause the area over the pilot (on standingpilot models) will be hot.n Always turn the surface burner controls offbefore removing cookware.
