Important Safety Instructions
Cooktop Safety
To reduce risk of property damage, fire, personal injury, and death:
• Turn off all unused burners.
• Do not line any part of the range with aluminum foil.
• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
• Before igniting, ensure all burner components are properly assembled.
• Use the LITE position to ignite a burner, and verify the burner ignites. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF,
and wait for the gas to dissipate, then retry.
• When setting a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly. Verify the burner stays lit.
• Place only cookware on the cooktop.
• The range is designed for use with a wok and wok ring.
• Always use a ventilation hood when cooking food.
• When done cooking, turn off the burner, and immediately remove the cookware.
• Before disassembling a burner, ensure the range is off and completely cool.
• After cleaning the burner spreader, dry it completely before re-assembly.
• When assembled, the burner-spreader spark mark should be next to the electrode.
• Do not pour water into the cooktop.
•
Select cookware that is designed for cooktop use and fits the cooktop grates. Burner flames should remain
beneath the cookware.
• Turn cookware handles away from the burners and front of the cooktop.
• Stand at a safe distance while frying.
• Heat frying oils slowly. If frying foods at high heat, monitor the entire process.
• If combining fats or oils when frying, mix them before heating.
• Use a deep-fry thermometer if possible to avoid overheating the oil.
• Use minimal oil when frying; let oil/fat cool before moving the cookware.
• Do not fry frozen or icy food.
• Let hot liquids sit at least 20 seconds after turning off the burner so the temperature of the liquid can stabi-
lize. In case of scalding, immerse the scalded area in cool water at least 10 minutes, then cover with a clean,
dry cloth; do not apply creams, oils, or lotions.
• Center pots on the grates. Cookware on rear burners should be max. 9” dia. Oversized cookware may im-
pede air flow, causing the flame sputter and burn inefficiently.
• Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range.
• Always ensure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before removing them.
• Stir sauces and similar liquids while warming.
