•
NEVER use the cooktop as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.
•
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items placed in cabinets over the cooktop.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought into contact with flame or hot surfaces and
may cause severe burns.
•
Do not place flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
•
Do not place or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
•
Do not place cooking oils or other flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
•
Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the cooktop.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
•
Do not use water on grease fires. NEVER touch a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
•
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
•
Stepping, leaning or sitting on this cooktop can result in serious injuries and also cause
damage to the cooktop.
•
Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
•
Leak testing of the appliance shall be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

•
If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned
to the
OFF
position. Do not leave the burners
On
unattended.
•
Use proper pan size
. Do not use pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select
cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spills,
make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will save
cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food. Because heavy spattering
or spills left on a range can ignite, use pans with handles that can be easily grasped
and remain cool.
•
Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers can cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may catch on fire.
•
Always turn knobs to the
LITE
position when igniting the top burners and make sure the
burners have ignited.
•
Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
