Important Safety Instructions
Rangetop Safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, and death:
•
Turn
all burners are off when not in use.
•
Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the rangetop.
•
Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
•
Before igniting, ensure all burner caps are properly in place and all burners are level.
•
Always use the LITE position to ignite the burners, then ensure the burners ignite. If ignition fails,
turn the knob to OFF, wait until the gas dissipates, then try again.
•
When setting a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly. Ensure the flame stays on.
•
Place only cookware on the rangetop.
•
Flame food only under an active ventilation hood.
•
Turn off burners then immediately remove cookware from the burners.
•
Before disassembling a burner, ensure all burners are off and the rangetop is completely cool.
•
After cleaning the burner spreader, ensure it is completely dry before re-assembling.
•
In assembling a burner, align the spark mark on the dual burner spreader with the electrode.
•
Do not pour water into the rangetop drip basin.
•
Use cookware that is designed for rangetop cooking and is large enough to cover the burner
grates. Adjust burner flames to remain under the cookware.
•
To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not use
cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
•
Turn cookware handles away from surface burners and the rangetop front edge.
•
Stand back from the range while frying.
•
Heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If frying at high heat, closely watch the cooking
process. If combining fats or oils when frying, mix them before heating.
•
Use a deep-fryer thermometer if possible to monitor the oil temperature, and use minimal oil.
•
Do not fry frozen food or partially thawed food that it clumped with ice.
•
Before moving fat-/oil-filled cookware, make sure it has completely cooled.
•
To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, let hot liquids stand at least 20 seconds after turning off the
burner so the liquid temperature can stabilize. In case of scalding, immerse the burn in cool
water for at least 10 minutes, then cover with a clean, dry cloth. Do not apply cream/oil/lotion.
•
Center pots on the grates. Do not put a pot larger than 9” in diameter on a rear burner. Oversized
pots may impede airflow, making the flame sputter and burn inefficiently.
•
Do not wear loose or hanging clothing when using the rangetop.
•
Never leave plastic on the rangetop. Vented hot air can melt or ignite plastic or cause a buildup
of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers.
•
Put only cookware on the rangetop.
•
Thaw and pad food dry before frying. Moisture can cause oil to erupt and overflow.
•
Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you remove them to
prevent any possibility of being burned.
•
Keep combustible material away from the rangetop.
