Safety

• Know which knob controls each surface burner.

 Always turn the knob to the LITE position 

when igniting the burners. Visually check that the burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it 

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. 

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease 

to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming 

food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface 

Burners/Unit 

—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage 

due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned 

so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners/Unit Unattended at High Heat Settings

—Boilovers cause 

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners

—Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop, use aluminum 

foil only to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk 

of electric shock, or fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils

—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, 

or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden 

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. 

If a burner/unit is accidentally turned on, 

the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the 

burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to 

the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will blocked from 

the burner/unit and cause combustion problems.

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. 

The 

use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition 

of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

do not use stove top Grills on your sealed Gas burners—

If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas 

burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above 

allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

iMPortaNt SaFetY NotiCe

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to 

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive 

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

use proper pan size. 

This cooktop can be equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select 

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose 

a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship 

of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
