Installation Guide

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Use aluminum foil only to cover food
during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
•
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for appliance service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.
•
Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner 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 range or burners
because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause
combustion problems.
•
Always 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.
• Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil.
•
Use the proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with 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.
•
Do not use stove top grills on your gas appliance. 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.
