IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A WARNING: SURFACE COOKING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
*Never leave the surface burners unattended *
at high flume settings. Boilovers cause
smoking end greasy spillovers that may catch
on fire. If the burner flumes ere smothered
by e severe boilover which effects the igniter,
unburned gas will escape into the room.
* To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materiels end spillage, turn
cookwere handles toward the side or beck of
the rungetop without extending over adjacent
burners,
*Always turn the surface burners to OFF
before removing cookware.
* Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
*Foods for frying should be us dry us possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture
on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pun.
*Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the
pun too full of fat can cause spillovers when
food is added.
*Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
*Always heat fat slowly, end watch us it
heats.
* Never try to move e pen of hot fat, especially
mdeep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
,, If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating or
us fats melt slowly.
,, When using glass cookware, make sure it
is designed for top-of-rungetop cooking.
* Do not leave any items on the rangetop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite
flammable items and will increase pressure
in closed containers, which may cause them
to burst.
*Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates
or line any part of the rangetop. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning,
overheating of the rungetop surfaces, or u
potential fire hazard.
Use proper pen size--avoid puns that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookwure
having flat bottoms large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers and
spillovers and large enough to cover burner
grate. This will save cleaning time and prevent
hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy
sputtering or spillovers left on the rungetop
can ignite. Use puns with handles that can be
easily grasped and remain cool.
Do not leave plastic items on the rangetop-
they may melt if left too close to the vent or
burner.
To avoid the possibility ore burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the grill or the
griddle grease troughs (some models).
Clean these ureas after each use.
For proper lighting end performance of the
rangetop burners, keep the burner ports
clean. It may be necessary to clean these
when there is u boilover or when the burner
does not light, even though the electronic
igniters click.
After cleaning, it is important to make sure
the cap end burner port are properly aligned
with the burner base. Incorrect alignment
will produce poor burner performance. Never
operate the burner without all burner parts
in place.
Clean the rengetop with caution. Avoid
steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth
to clean the rungetop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to u
hot surface. Follow manufacturer's directions.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products that can flare-up.
If the rangetop is located near a window, do
not hung long curtains that could blow over
the surface burners and create mfire hazard.
