IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
•
Read this use & care guide carefully before using
your new multi-function cooktop to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
•
Ensure proper installation and servicing. This
appliance must be properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
•
Have installer show you where the gas supply
shut-off valve is located in your home. Learn how
and where to turn off the gas to the cooktop.
•
Before performing any service, turn off the gas
supply by closing the gas shut-off valve and unplug
the cooktop power cord from the electrical outlet.
•
Always properly clean and maintain the cooktop as
outlined in care recommendations on pages 12–13.
•
Keep the igniter clean and dry for proper lighting and
performance of the burner.
•
In the event that the burner goes out and gas
escapes, open a window or a door. Wait at least five
minutes before using the cooktop.
•
Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible
material.
•
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose clothing or
other flammable materials come in contact with the
burner while in operation. Fabric may ignite and
cause personal injury.
•
IMPORTANT:
Do not install a ventilation system that
blows air downward toward this gas cooking appli-
ance. This type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with this gas
cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unin-
tended operation.
•
Always use dry pot holders when removing a pan
from the cooktop. Wet or damp pot holders can
cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth
in place of pot holders.
•
When deep fat frying, be sure the pan is large
enough to accommodate the food without overflow-
ing when fat begins to bubble. Heat fat slowly. Never
leave a deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat
frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with a
high water content may cause the hot fat to spatter.
Use a thermometer to avoid heating the fat above the
flash point.
•
When cooking, set the burner control so the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
•
Choose pans with easily grasped handles that will
stay cool while cooking. Refer to cookware selection
on page 14.
•
Always turn panhandles inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas or the edge of the
cooktop.
•
Always check the position of the control knob to
make certain the cooktop is off when you are finished
cooking.
•
Always light the burner prior to placing a pan on the
burner grate. Also, turn the control knob to the OFF
position before removing a pan from the grate.
•
Start the ventilation hood approximately five minutes
before cooking. This establishes an air curtain and
improves the capture of vapor and moisture.
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop
unless specifically recommended in literature accom-
panying this appliance. All service should be referred
to a qualified technician.
