Use and Care Manual

GUIDELINES FOR USING COOKTOP BURNERS

WARNING!: Keep cooktop area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline,

and other flammable vapors and liquid.

WARNING!: DO NOT use the cooktop as a room/space heater; this may result in

carbon monoxide poisoning.

• This appliance is intended for cooking food; it must NOT be used for any other purpose.

• Never leave the range top unattended when in use. Boil over causes smoking and

greasy spills that may ignite.

• Never allow flames to extend beyond cookware or curl up its sides. This could discolor

and damage the utensil and you may get burned by a hot handle.

• Keep handles out of the way. Turn handle so that they don’t extend over the edge of the

range or another burner that is on.

• Use caution when deep-frying. Oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high

setting.

• Make sure that all burner parts are properly in place and ensure burner caps are installed

correctly. Incorrectly or incompletely assembled burners may produce dangerous flames.

See "Care & Maintenance", Page 26.

• Keep the burners clean. Especially after a spill or boil over, make sure you clean the

affected burners before using them again. Food residue may clog the igniter and the

notches of the flame spreader, stopping the burner from functioning correctly. See "Care &

Maintenance" on Page 26.

• Check that the burner flames are regular. They should be blue with no yellow tipping and

burn without fluttering all around the burner cap. For burner troubleshooting, see Page 28.

• DO NOT store dangerous or flammable material in the cabinet areas above the cooktop.

• DO NOT use aerosol sprays in the vicinity of the cooktop while it's operating.

• DO NOT use unstable or deformed cookware to avoid safety hazards, such as spillovers.

• Always ensure that the knobs are in the "OFF" position when the cooktop is not in use.

• The cooktop must be regularly cleaned and maintained for safe use; see Page 26.

• Before maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the appliance from power and allow it to

cool completely.

• Ensure that air can circulate around the gas cooktop; poor ventilation can result in a lack

of oxygen and extinguish the flame.

• The cooktop produces heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.

• There are dual burners that have the same low turn-down setting (SIM) for gentle

simmering (620 BTU/hour). Use the SIM setting for melting chocolate and butter, cooking

rice and delicate sauces, simmering soups and stews, and keeping cooked food hot.

• Ensure the room where the cooktop is installed is well-ventilated. Keep adequate natural

ventilation or install a range hood with a discharge tube.

• Supply the cooktop with the type of gas stamped on the relevant label situated in the

immediate vicinity of the gas connection tube.
