IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming

pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely

with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. If

necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-

type fire extinguisher.

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS

TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING:

■ Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium

or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may

ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding

cabinets.

■ Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to

heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting

in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a

deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil

temperature.

■ To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of

oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen

foods with excessive amounts of ice.

■ Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable

or easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the

size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so

that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Excessive flame may be hazardous.

■ Always use the LITE position when igniting the top

burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

■ When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is

suitable for cooktop service; others may break because

of sudden change in temperature.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of the

cooktop without extending over nearby burners.

■ When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn the

fan on.

■ Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. the

ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting

in a carbon monoxide hazard.

■ Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may

damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting

in a gas leak and risk of fire.

■ When disabling Gas/Control Lockout (on some models),

make sure the surface controls are set to the OFF

position. This will prevent unintended gas flow from the

burners.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line

any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon

monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop

surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
