Important Safety Instructions
Installation-Related Safety Instructions, cont.
•
Turn all burners off if not using the range.
•
Do not line the grates or any part of the cooktop with foil.
•
Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high settings.
•
Before igniting, ensure burners and caps are properly seated.
•
Use LITE (flame symbol) to ignite a burner. If the burner does not stay lit, turn the knob OFF, and
wait 5 minutes for the gas to dissipate, then retry.
•
When setting a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly; ensure the burner stays lit.
•
Place only cookware on the cooktop.
•
The cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok-ring attachment.
•
Food should only be flamed under an active ventilation hood.
•
Before removing cookware, turn off the burner, and remove food/cookware when done cooking.
•
Burners should be off and all surfaces cool before removing grates and burner parts. After
cleaning the burner head, dry it completely before re-assembly.
•
Assemble the dual-burner spreader so its spark mark is next to the electrode.
•
Do not pour water or other liquids into the cooktop.
•
Select cookware that is designed for cooktops and that covers the grate. Burner flames should
stay fully under the cookware.
•
Do not use cookware that is much larger than the grate.
•
Turn cookware handles away from active burners and the cooktop front edge.
•
Heat frying-oil slowly, and watch as it heats. When frying at high heat, stand at a safe distance,
and monitor the oil constantly. If combining fats/oils, mix them together before heating.
•
Use a deep-fry thermometer if possible to avoid heating the oil beyond its smoke point.
•
Fry with minimal oil. Thaw food fully before frying; do not fry icy or overly cold food. Let oil/fat
cool to room temperature before moving the cookware.
•
To avoid delayed-eruptive boiling, let oil/fat stand at least 20 seconds after turning off the burner
to stabilize the temperature. In case of a burn injury:
– Immerse the scaled area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
– Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
– Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
