The Getting the Most out of Your Appfiance section includes information about the modes, cooking charts and tips for improving performance.
,_Safety a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe'). c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. d) • • • • d) Use proper pan size.
,_ • • • • Burn Prevention • • • • • • • • Child Safety • • • • Cleaning Safety Safety If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance. If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" procedure.
,_kSafety a) The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during selfcleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide. b) The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity. c) Exposure to these substances can be minimized by: 1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

GettingStarted Sealed Gas Burners The cooktop has sealed gas burners. As a result, there are no parts under the cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. Spills stay on top of the cooktop where they are easier to wipe up. Burner Grate I I _ _ Burner Cap I Burner I Cooktop Ignitor Figure Burner Caps 2: Right Side Burner - Side View The cooktop has four burner caps. Match the size of the burner cap to the size of the burner. Burner caps are not interchangeable.
Getting Started ,_ Caution: All ignitors spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use. High Power Burner The high power burner is the largest burner. It is the most powerful burner on the cooktop, tt retains heat longer than normal burner caps and, at low settings, prohibits the flame from touching the cookware. This results in a gentle, more predictable heat. Use the low settings on this burner to simmer large amounts of sauces or soups.
