IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7 IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR GAS COOKTOP WARNING • Use proper flame size - Adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. If the utensil is smaller than the burner, some of the flame will be exposed and may result in the ignition of clothing. Correct pan size will also improve efficiency. • Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of 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 Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn the knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. Use The Proper Pan Size -This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. If the utensil is smaller than the burner, some of the flame will be exposed and may result in the ignition of clothing. Correct pan size will also improve efficiency. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should 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 - 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 the bottom of the oven or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock, fire or a short circuit. 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. Air curtain or other overhead ventilating hoods, which operate by blowing air downwards onto a range, shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by an inde- pendent test laboratory for use in combi- nation with each other. Do not use a Searing Grill on the cooktop. The searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
