DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR iNTERiOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface burners and oven burners may
be hot even though flames are not visible, Areas near
surface burners may become hot enough tocause burns,
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials touch these areas until they have had

mMPORTANT mNSTRUCTmONS FOR USmNGYOUR
COOKTOP
Use proper flame size--Adjust flame size
so itdoes 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,
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, This can be hazardous to your
health,
o Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place
a pan of food on the burner before turning iton, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan,
o Atways turn the knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit,
Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
o Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes, Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner, The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing, Proper relationship of utensil
to the surface burner will also improve efficiency,
o Utensil bandies should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners, 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 to adjacent surface burners,
o Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt,
o Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line
surface burner pans, or oven bottom, except as suggested
in this manual, Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or fire,
o Gtazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature, Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use,
o Do not use Searing Gritt on the cooktop. The searing
grill is not designed for use on the cooktop, Doing so may
result in a fire,
