WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, and death:
•
Ensure 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 before removing cookware from the burners.
•
Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
•
Before disassembling a burner for cleaning, ensure all burners are off and the
rangetop is completely cool.
•
After cleaning the burner spreader, ensure it is completely dry before re-assembling.
•
When assembling a burner, ensure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is be
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 so they 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.
