CAUTION:
Never attempt to utilize the cooktop during a
power failure. During the event the power fails during use,
always shut off the cooktop, as your appliance may turn on
unsupervised as the power restores.
Instructions for cooktop usage:
•
Using the correct flame size: Flame should be adjusted so
that it does not reach beyond the edge of utensils such as a
pot or pan. Undersized utensils may expose a portion of the
burner and flame, which may result in the combustion of
fabric or clothing if they make contact with the flame. Using
correctly sized pots or pans will improve efficiency and safety.
•
DO NOT use stove top grills on a sealed gas burner. Doing so
may cause incomplete combustion which may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
•
PLEASE MEMORIZE the knobs and their corresponding
burners which they control. Always place a pan on the burner
before starting a flame. Always turn off the burner before
removing the pan.
•
ALWAYS turn the knob all the way to the "Light" mark when
igniting the top burners. Always check to see if flames are
visible, ensuring that the burner is lit.
•
DO NOT face pot or pan handles outward. They should
always be facing inward but not directly over another flame.
This practice can reduce the risk of serious burns, spillage, or
even the combustion of flammable items or materials in the
event there is accidental contact with the handle.
•
DO NOT leave the top burners on a high heat setting
unattended. Failure to supervise can result in a boil over
which can cause smoke or a grease fire.
•
Protective Sheets:
Never use aluminum foil to cover the
burner pans, unless suggested by this manual. Improper use
or installation of these sheets and liners can increase the risk
of electrical shock or fire.
