RMPORTANT SAFETY NOTRCE_
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm
and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to four of these
substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde
and soot, caused primarily by the
incomplete combustion of natural
gas or L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted
appliances, indicated by the bluish
rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can
be minimized by further venting
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood. The
cooktop, as shipped from the
factory, can only be operated with
natural gas. High flames and toxic
fumes could cause serious injury.
if you wish to use your cooktop
with L.P. gas, you must convert
the cooktop following the
procedure found in the installation
instructions shipped with your
appliance.
•DO NOT leave children alone or
unattended near an appliance
in use.
oTEACH CHILDREN not to play
with controls or any part of the
appliance, and not to sit, climb or
stand on any part of the appliance.
•CAUTION: NEVER STORE items
of interest to children in cabinets
above the appliance. Children
climbing on the appliance could
be seriously injured.
KEEP THIS book for later use.
o
oNEVER TRY to repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless
instructions are given in this guide.
All other work should be done by a
qualified technician.
•NEVER USE your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
•ALWAYS KEEP combustible walt
coverings, curtains, dishcloths,
towels, potholders and other linens
a safe distance from the appliance.
oNEVER HEAT unopened food
containers. Pressure buildup can
cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
,NEVER LEAVE containers of fat or
drippings near your appliance.
•ALWAYS KEEP the appliance area
free from things that will burn. Food,
wooden utensils, grease buildup,
gasoline and other flammable
vapors or liquids could catch fire.
Plastic utensils could melt and
canned foods could explode. Your
appliance should never be used as
a storage area.
,NEVER WEAR loose-fitting clothing
when using your appliance.
,NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface.
Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes, and wet cloths or sponges
could cause steam burns.
4

o NEVER USE a towel or other bulky
cloth as a potholder. Make sure the
potholder is dry. Moist potholders
and wet cloths or SlSonges could
cause steam burns. DO NOT let
potholders touch hot burners.
o DO NOT touch cooktop burners or
surfaces near them. These may be
hot enough to cause burns even
though they are dark in color.
During and after use, do not touch
or let clothing or flammable material
contact the burners or hot surfaces
until they have had time to cool.
- ONLY certain kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the sudden
temperature change.
o ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop burners. They will retain
heat after the cooktop has been
turned off.
° COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the
bottom and large enough to cover
the heating area being used,
Undersized utensils expose the
open flame and may result in direct
contact or ignition of clothing. The
proper size utensil will also improve
efficiency.
oNEVER LEAVE cooktop burners
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers result in smoking or
greasy spills which could catch fire.
• ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other surface
burners to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact and
spillage.
°WHEN PREPARING flaming food
under the vent hood, turn the fan on.
READ AND UNDERSTAND
THIS liNFORMAI"IION NOW_
Be sure ever]one in your home
knows what to do in case of fire.
Never use water on a grease fire;
it will only spread the flames.
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
Never pick up a flaming pan...
1. Turn off the surface burners,
2. Smother the flame with a tightly
fitting lid. Use baking soda or a
dry chemical, foam or halon type
extinguisher.

CAUTI1OIR:
When setting the
flame size, make
sure the flame
heats the bottom of the pan only.
Flames that extend beyond the
bottom edge of the pan or lick up
the sides are unsafe and waste
energy.
When the knob is turned to the lite
position, a spark igniter sends a
series of electrical sparks that will
ignite the gas flowing to the burner
automatically.

OPERATIO#
6asOooMope,ookin#
During a power failure, the cooktop
burners wilt not light automatically, In
an emergency, a cooktop burner may
be lit using a wooden match, Follow
the instructions below:
1. Light the wooden match.
2, Hold the flame next to the burner
you want to use.
3. Push in and turn the correct knob
to the light position.
4, When the burner lights, turn the
knob to your preferred setting.
WARNgHG: Lighting gas
burners with a match is
dangerous. You should light
the burners with this method
only in an emergency.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a
flat-bottomed wok. They are available
at your local retai! store.
Do not use woks that have support
rings. Use of these types of woks,
with or without the ring in place,
can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the burner
wi!t cause a buildup of heat that will
damage the porcelain cooktop. Do
not try to use such woks without the
ring. You could be seriously burned
if the wok is tipped over.
Use only flat.bottomed woks.
If you are simmering on one burner
and turn on the others, watch the
simmer setting. Because of the
increased gas flow to the other
burners, the flame size of the burner
used for simmering may need to be
increased.
Use pans and woks that are the
same size as the burner used when
cooking. Use flat-bottom woks. Flame
and Pan
Size
1, Center canner over the burner.
2. Use recipes and procedures from
reputable sources. These are
available from manufacturers such
as Ball® and Kerr+, or the
Department of Agriculture
Extension Service.
3. Use caution, while canning, to
prevent burns from steam or heat.
