SURFACE BURNER WARNINGS
WARNING
Follow basic precautions when installing and using this range to reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock, injury, or death to persons, including.
Use proper pan sizes. Avoid pans that are unstable or warped. Select
cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner grates. To
avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain your food.
This will save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the range can ignite. Use pans with
handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners. Make sure the
burners have ignited.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at HIGH flame settings. Boilovers
cause smoking, and greasy spillovers that might catch on fire.
Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Excessive flames past cookware edges can be hazardous.
Only use dry pot holders. Pot holders with moisture in them may result in burns
from steam when they come in contact with hot surfaces.
Keep pot holders away from open flames when lifting cookware. Never use a
towel or bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
Keep all plastic away from the surface burners or any open flame.
When using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range
cooking.
Always make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the
cooktop, but not over other surface burners. This will minimize the chance of
burns, spillovers, and ignition of flammable materials due to bumping the pan.
Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could
ignite and burn you if they touch a surface burner.
Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as it heats. If foods are being fried
at high heat, carefully watch during the cooking process. If a combination of
fats or oils are to be used during frying, they need to be stirred together before
heating.
