Important safety information Important safety information • Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °C) generated by the range. • Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage above the range is necessary, allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches (102 cm) between the cooking surface and the bottom of the cabinets or install a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets. • Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. • If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a fire hazard. Cooktop safety WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the following precautions. • Make sure all burners are off when you are not using the range. • Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the cooktop. This can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings. • Before igniting the burners, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and all burners are level. • Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas has dissipated. • When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the flame stays on. • Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop. • This cooktop is designed for use with a wok or wok ring attachment. • To flame food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you flame food, the hood must be on. • Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners. • Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking. • Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is off and completely cool. • After cleaning the burner spreader, make sure it is completely dry before re- assembling. • Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is placed beside the electrode when it is assembled. • To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning. • Select cookware that is designed for range top cooking. Use cookware that is large enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware. • To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate. • Make sure cookware handles are turned to the side or rear of the cooktop, but not over other surface burners. • Stand away from the range while frying. • Always heat frying oils slowly, and watch as they heat. If you are frying foods at high heat, carefully watch during the cooking process. If you are going to use a combination of fats or oils when frying, mix them together before heating. • Use a deep-fryer thermometer whenever possible. This prevents overheating the fryer beyond the smoking point. • Use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying or deep-frying. Avoid cooking unthawed food or food with excessive amounts of ice. 10 English NX7000K_VE_NX58M6850SS_AA_DG68-00909A-04_EN+MES+CFR.indb 10 2018-08-29 5:14:52
