Important safety information
• Place pots in the center of the grate.
Do not place a pot larger than 9" in
diameter on the left rear burner. If you
place an oversized pot in the wrong
position, it might disrupt necessary air
circulation and make the flame on the
burner sputter and burn inefficiently.
• To warm liquids such as sauces, stir them while warming.
• Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could
ignite and burn you if they touch a surface burner.
• Do not leave plastic items on top of the range. Hot air from the vents on top
of the range can melt the plastic and may cause pressure build-up in closed
plastic containers. The melted plastic may clog the vents at the rear of the
range. Clogged vents may cause incorrect combustion which could result in
gas leaks and fire. And you may get severe burns if you touch the surfaces
near the vent while the oven is operating.
• Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on
the cooktop. Damage or fire could occur if the cooktop is hot.
• Always make sure foods being fried are thawed and dried. Moisture of any
kind can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you
remove them to prevent any possibility of burning.
• Do not put any combustible material or items around the range.
• Take care that your hands do not touch the burners when they are on. Turn
off the burners when you change a pan or pot.
• Select cookware that is designed for top-range cooking. Use cookware that is
large enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the
flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide
poisoning,
do not use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
• Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but
not over other surface burners.
• Stand away from the range while frying.
• Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods
at high heat, carefully watch during the cooking process. If a combination of
fats or oils is to be used during frying, mix them together before heating.
• Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating
the fryer beyond the smoking point.
• Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid
cooking unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice.
• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely
cooled.
• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at
least 20 seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature
in the liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first aid
instructions:
a. Immerse the scalded area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10
minutes.
b. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
c. Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
