carbon usonoxide, fl)mmldehvde and soot,
caused i)fimarily by the inc()mi)lete
combustion of natural gas or I,P flmls.
Properly at!lusted burners, indicated by

other flaummble wq)ors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on or near the cooktop,
• Never leave surface burners mlattended at
high flame settings, Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy si)illovers that inay catch on fire.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Use only dry pot holders--moist or daml) pot
holders on hot surtaces may result in burns
fl'oln steanl. Do not let pot holders colne near
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not
use a towel or other bulkv cloth in place of
a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, ttlYn
cookware handles toward the side or center
of the cooktop without extending over
a(!jacent burner or vent area.
•Always turn the surface burners to off before
removing the cookwaxe.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on fl'ozen toods or moisture on fl'esh
fi>ods can cause hot fiat to bubble up and over
the sides of the pan.
• Use least possible mnomlt of fat for effective
shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan
too fldl of tat can cause spillovers when food
is added.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at high
flmne setting.
•If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together betore heating, or as
tats m elt slowlw
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating tat bew)nd
the smoking point.
• Use proper pml size--avoid pans that are
trustable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having fiat bottoms large enough to propedy
contain tood and avoid boilovers and
spillovers, and large enough to cover bm'ner
grate. This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of tOod,
since hea W spattering or spillovers left on
cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles
that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
•Keep all plastics away from burners.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove a grate.
• If the cooktop is located near a window,
do not use long curtains which could blow
over the burlaers and create a fire hazard.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the
cooktop and call a qualified service technician.
Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
• Do not cover or block the area around the

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to
at least an INTERNAl, temperature of 160°F,
and poult_ T to at least an INTERNAl,
temperature of 180°F, Cooking to these
temperatm'es usually protects against

Cook7ucIre Muminum: Medimn-weight cookware is
rec(nmnended because it heats quickly
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an
almninmn skillet. Use saucepans with
tight-fitting lids tot cooking with minimmn
alnO/lllts of water.
Cast Iron: If heated slowly; most skillets will
give satislactorv results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, tile
enamel of some cookware may melt. Follow
cookware inalltlt_lct/li'ei"s i'ecolnlnelldatiolls
for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware-
those fin" oven use only and those fin" sm'tace
cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots).
Glass COll(hlcts heat very slowly.
Heatproof Glass-Cermnic: Can be used for
either surtace or oven cooking. It conducts
heat ve_ T slowly and cools very slowl> Check
cookware II/alIHt_lcttu'eI"S directions to be sure
it can be used on gas cooktops.
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor
heating properties, and is usually combined
with COl)per, almninmn or other metals tot
improved heat distribution. Combination metal
skillets generally work satisthctorily if they are
used at medimn heat as the mamdhcturer

Make sure that tile support ring is securely

grates
Cast-iron bm'ner grates should be washed
regularly and especially after spillovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse
with clean water. Dry the grates with a cloth--
don't put them back on the cooktop wet.
When replacing the grates, be sure thev're
positioned securely over the burners.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the
grates in a covered container or plastic bag.
Add l/4 cup ammonia and let them soak
fin" 30 minutes. Wash, rinse well and dry.
The grates may also be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Although they axe durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the
best care wm can give them. This is due to
their continual exposure to high temperatm'es.
Do not operate a burner for an extended
period of time without cookware on the grate,
The finish on the grate may chip without
cookware to absorb the heat.
After cleaning, replace the two side grates with
their locking rails toward the center. Replace
the center grate so that a contimmus "arc" is
tormed with the center ribs of all three grates.
Make sure the rails on the center grate are
locked over the rails on the side grates and that
all grates are stable and level.
Rubber Grate Feet
For stability; your cooktop has two robber feet
on each leg of the bm'ner grates. If anv of these
iubber feet should become damaged or lost,
replace it with one of the extra Hfl)ber teet
suI)plied with your cooktop.
