IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE: • Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. • Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). • Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. • Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the burner. NEVER use any part of the appliance for storage. Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items may melt or ignite. DO NOT hang articles from any part of the appliance. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire. If the appliance is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the appliance burners; they could catch on fire. ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available nearby, highly visible, and easily accessible near the cooking appliance. Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires, with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires. Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a fire. However, DO NOT reach through fire to turn it off. NEVER let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. DO NOT let potholders touch hot burners or burner grates. For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. DO NOT use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the appliance. WARNING The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the appliance to warm or heat a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the unit. Also, such use can damage the appliance parts. When using the appliance: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns. Never leave the appliance unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the room. See page 5 regarding gas leaks. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for cooking on the burners. This type of cookware may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer's directions. DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury. WARNING During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. This instruction is based on safety considerations. Use caution to ensure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot. Always use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.
