Important Safety Instructions
Cooktop Safety
• Turn all burners off if not using the range.
• Do not line the grates or any part of the cooktop with foil.
• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high settings.
• Before igniting, ensure burners and caps are properly seated.
•
Use LITE (flame symbol) to ignite a burner. If the burner does not stay lit, turn the knob OFF, and wait 5
minutes for the gas to dissipate, then retry.
• When setting a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly; ensure the burner stays lit.
• Place only cookware on the cooktop.
• The cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok-ring attachment.
• Food should only be cooked under an active ventilation hood.
• Before removing cookware, turn off the burner, and remove food/cookware when done cooking.
• Burners should be off and all surfaces cool before removing grates and burner parts. After cleaning the
burner head, dry it completely before re-assembly.
• Assemble the dual-burner spreader so its spark mark is next to the electrode.
• Do not pour water or other liquids into the cooktop.
•
Select cookware that is designed for cooktops and that covers the grate. Burner flames should stay fully
under the cookware.
• Do not use cookware that is much larger than the grate.
• Turn cookware handles away from active burners and the cooktop front edge.
• Heat frying-oil slowly, and watch as it heats. When frying at high heat, stand at a safe distance, and monitor
the oil constantly. If combining fats/oils, mix them together before heating.
• Use a deep-fry thermometer if possible to avoid heating the oil beyond its smoke point.
• Fry with minimal oil. Thaw food fully before frying; do not fry icy or overly cold food. Let oil/fat cool to room
temperature before moving the cookware.
• To avoid delayed-eruptive boiling, let oil/fat stand at least 20 seconds after turning off the burner to stabi-
lize the temperature.
