Important Safety Instructions
10
• Electronic controllers can be
damaged by cold temperatures.
When using the appliance for the
first time, or when the appliance
has not been used for a long time,
make sure that the unit has been in
temperatures above 32°F/0°C
for at least 3 hours before turning
power on to the appliance.
• Adjust the size of the surface
burner flame so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. An excessive flame is
hazardous.
• Do not use stove top grills on the
burner grates of 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.
• Know which knob controls each
surface burner. Place a pan of
food on the burner before turning
it on, and turn the burner off
before removing the pan.
• IMPORTANT: After a spill or
boilover, turn off the burner and
clean around it. After cleaning,
check that the burner functions
properly.
• Use the proper pan size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large
enough to cover the surface
burner. If the utensil is smaller than
the burner, some of the flame will
be exposed and may result in
clothing catching fire. Correct pan
size will also improve efficiency.
• 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 the cooker
unattended when using high heat
settings. Boilover can cause
smoke and spattered grease can
ignite.
• Prevent aluminum foil from
contacting the heating elements.
