Operating Instructions6Safety InstructionsInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting TipsConsumer SupportIMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.SURFACE BURNERSUse proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottomslarge enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to containthe food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, sinceheavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily graspedand remain cool. Always use the LITE position when ignitingthe top burners and make sure the burnershave ignited. Never leave the surface burners unattendedat high flame settings. Boilovers causesmoking and greasy spillovers that maycatch on fire. Adjust the top burner flame size so itdoes not extend beyond the edge of thecookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. Use only dry pot holders—moist or damppot holders on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not let pot holderscome near open flames when liftingcookware. Do not use a towel or otherbulky cloth in place of a pot holder. When using glass cookware, make sure itis designed for top-of-range cooking. To minimize the possibility of burns,ignition of flammable materials and spillage,turn cookware handles toward the side orback of the range without extending overadjacent burners. Carefully watch foods being fried at a highflame setting. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Do not leave any items on the cooktop. Thehot air from the vent may ignite flammableitems and will increase pressure in closedcontainers, which may cause them to burst. If a combination of oils or fats will be used infrying, stir together before heating or as fatsmelt slowly. Use a deep fat thermometer wheneverpossible to prevent overheating fat beyondthe smoking point. Use the least possible amount of fat foreffective shallow or deep-fat frying. Fillingthe pan too full of fat can cause spilloverswhen food is added. When flaming foods are under the hood,turn the fan off. The fan, if operating, mayspread the flames. Do not use a wok on the cooking surfaceif the wok has a round metal ring that isplaced over the burner grate to supportthe wok. This ring acts as a heat trap,which may damage the burner grate andburner head. Also, it may cause the burnerto work improperly. This may cause acarbon monoxide level above thatallowed by current standards, resultingin a health hazard.WARNING!
