IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
Do not use stove top grills on your 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.
• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottom 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.
• Utensil Handles 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 over adjacent surface burners.
• 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.
• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner pans. Protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere
with heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to
the cooktop or personal injury may result.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If a burner
is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become
hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the
burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched.
Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because
the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from
the burner and cause combustion problems.
TEMPERED-GLASS COOKTOPS (some models):
• Do Not Operate or Clean a Broken Cooktop Glass—If
glass top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution—If a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful
to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on the Cooktop Glass. This
could cause glass to break.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
