Cooktop Safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of property damage, fire, personal injury, and death:
•
Turn off all unused burners.
•
Do not line any part of the range with aluminum foil.
•
Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
•
Before igniting, ensure all burner components are properly assembled.
•
Use the LITE position to ignite a burner, and verify the burner ignites. If ignition fails, turn the
knob to OFF, and wait for the gas to dissipate, then retry.
•
When setting a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly. Verify the burner stays lit.
•
Place only cookware on the cooktop.
•
The range is designed for use with a wok and wok ring.
•
Always use a ventilation hood when flaming food.
•
When done cooking, turn off the burner, and immediately remove the cookware.
•
Before disassembling a burner, ensure the range is off and completely cool.
•
After cleaning the burner spreader, dry it completely before re-assembly.
•
When assembled, the burner-spreader spark mark should be next to the electrode.
•
Do not pour water into the cooktop.
•
Select cookware that is designed for cooktop use and fits the cooktop grates. Burner flames
should remain beneath the cookware.
•
Turn cookware handles away from the burners and front of the cooktop.
•
Stand at a safe distance while frying.
•
Heat frying oils slowly. If frying foods at high heat, monitor the entire process.
•
If combining fats or oils when frying, mix them before heating.
•
Use a deep-fry thermometer if possible to avoid overheating the oil.
•
Use minimal oil when frying; let oil/fat cool before moving the cookware.
•
Do not fry frozen or icy food.
•
Let hot liquids sit at least 20 seconds after turning off the burner so the temperature of the
liquid can stabilize. In case of scalding, immerse the scalded area in cool water at least 10
minutes, then cover with a clean, dry cloth; do not apply creams, oils, or lotions.
•
Center pots on the grates. Cookware on rear burners should be max. 9” dia. Oversized cookware
may impede air flow, causing the flame sputter and burn inefficiently.
•
Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range.
•
Always ensure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before removing them.
•
Stir sauces and similar liquids while warming.
