9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation.
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde
and Soot. To minimize exposure to these substances the
burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or
agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan
or hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the unit
according to the instructions in this manual.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from
steam.
WARNING
Do not remove grommets or white rings as they will
require Customer Service to refit and the cooktop must
not be used without all parts fitted correctly.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of
the heating element or burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Inspect your cookware for damage or excessive wear
before using it.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of
the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and
burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for
cooktop use.
