Operating Instructions
Using Gas Safely
Gas fuels and their uses can cause minor exposure to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily from
incomplete combustion. Significant exposure to these substances
can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Properly adjusted burners
with a blue, rather than yellow, flame will minimize the
incomplete combustion. Venting with a hood, or open window
will further minimize exposure.
The maximum gas supply pressure may not exceed 14-inches
W.C.P. (1/2 PSI)
Never
use a match or other flame to locate a gas leak.
Explosion, fire or injury could result.
Know where your main gas shut off valve is located.
Use proper pan size. Select stable cookware with flat,
bottoms.
Cookware should be large enough to contain the food and
avoid spillovers. This will save cleaning time and avoid
accumulations of food debris, which can ignite.
Use pans with handles that remain cool and are easy to hold.
Always turn the burner controls off before removing
cookware.
How to Light a Burner
Your cook top burners have electric ignition, thus avoiding
constantly burning pilot lights. Push the control knob down and
turn it counter- clockwise to the first mark to ignite. This is your
highest setting. After the burner ignites, you may turn the knob
counter-clockwise to adjust the flame setting. To turn the burner
off, turn the knob clockwise to the symbol
.
In case of a power failure, you can light the burners with a
match. Hold a lit match to the burner, then push in and turn the
control knob 90 degrees counterclockwise. Use extreme caution
when lighting burners this way. Burners in use when an electrical
power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
