Rangetop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
•
Make sure
all burners are off when not in use.
•
Do not use
aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the rangetop. 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, 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.
• This appliance 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 rangetop 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 rangetop well while
cleaning.
• Select cookware that is designed for rangetop 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 rangetop, 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.
