Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions6IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.SURFACE BURNERSUse proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flatbottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is largeenough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardousaccumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans withhandles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. Always use the LITE position (on electricignition models) or the HI position (onstanding pilot models) when igniting thetop burners and make sure the burnershave ignited. Never leave the surface burnersunattended at high flame settings.Boilovers cause smoking and greasyspillovers 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 otherbulky cloth 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,ignition of flammable materials andspillage, turn cookware handles toward theside or back of the range withoutextending over adjacent 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.The hot air from the vent may igniteflammable items and will increase pressurein closed containers, which may causethem to burst. If a combination of oils or fats will be usedin frying, stir together before heating or asfats 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 youdo flame foods under the hood, turn thefan on. Do not use a wok on the cooking surfaceif the wok has a round metal ring that isplaced over the burner grate to supportthe wok. This ring acts as a heat trap,which may damage the burner grate andburner head. Also, it may cause the burnerto work improperly. This may cause acarbon monoxide level above thatallowed by current standards, resultingin a health hazard. Foods for frying should be as dry aspossible. Frost on frozen foods or moistureon fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubbleup and over the sides of the pan. Never try to move a pan of hot fat,especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fatis cool. Do not leave plastic items on thecooktop—they may melt if left too close tothe 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. Always turn the surface burner controls offbefore removing cookware.WARNING!
