• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, GRATES, OR AREAS
NEAR THESE BURNERS.
Surface burners may be hot even though
the flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or
let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop and the surfaces facing the cooktop.

Do not let the pot
holders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.

Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.
•
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.
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.
• Use proper pan size
—This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottom large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface burner to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.
