SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• At least once a year, the unit should be
inspected for the presence of spiders, spider
webs or other insects. The burner area is a
common and desired spider haven and can
present a dangerous condition which can
damage the range top burners and render
them unsafe for use. The presence of spiders,
spider webs or other insects can cause the gas
to flow from the front of the burner. This is a
very dangerous condition which can cause a
fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check
the range top burners immediately if any of
the following conditions exist:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with
extreme yellow tipping of the burner
flames.
2. The burners do not reach temperature.
3. The burners heat unevenly.
4. The burners make popping noises.
• Should a burner go out during use, turn the
control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes
before attempting to relight the burner.
Always follow the lighting instructions.
• Never lean over a lit burner.
• Never cook without the drip tray in place
and pushed all the way to the rear of the
burner box.
• Do not operate the range top burners
under combustible construction. Use only
in well ventilated areas. Do not use in
garages, breezeways, sheds or other such
enclosed areas.
• If the range top burners have not been used
for an extended period of time (over winter,
for example) the unit should be checked for
gas leaks and obstructions in the burner.
• Do not attempt to disconnect any gas
connections while your burners are in use
or the gas supply is on.
• When the range top burners are stored
indoors the gas supply must be disconnected
and, if using an LP gas cylinder, the cylinder
must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated
area.
• When the range top burners are stored
outdoors ensure that they are kept in a well
ventilated area.
• Keep any electrical supply cord away
from the heated surface of the range
top burners.
• On cart-mounted units never move without
first allowing the range top burners and/or
grill to cool
and ensuring that the gas
supply is turned off. Fold the side shelf
down and push, never pull, the appliance.
• Never use the range top burners in a
windy area.
• Only use with the type of gas specified on
the rating plate. To change from LP gas from
natural, or vice versa, a factory conversion kit
is required.
• LP units are supplied with an LP tank
equipped with a type 1 connector and an
over-fill protection device. If you use a tank
exchange system, be sure to exchange this
tank for a similarly equipped tank.
