Safety

WARNING

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.

WARNING

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.

WARNING

Use proper pan size. This cooktop can be equipped with one or more 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.

• 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.

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch ﬁre.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease ﬁlters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease

to accumulate on hood or ﬁlter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch ﬁre. When ﬂaming

food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface

Burners/Unit —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 Surface Burners/Unit Unattended at High Heat Settings—Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop, use aluminum

foil only to cover food during cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or ﬁre.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,

or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden

change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner/unit 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 cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will blocked from

the burner/unit and cause combustion problems.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to

publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
