Important Safety Instructions
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before
lighting a burner.
• Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
them from the valve stems.
• The cooktop should never be operated without the
knobs in place.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room during cooking.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be
burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels - a violent steam explosion may result.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊ You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you
already know how to operate it.
◊ The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
◊ The fire department is being called.
◊ You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
• This appliance is equipped with a three prong
grounding plug for your protection against possible
electric shock hazards. If
only a two prong outlet is
available, it is the cust-
omer’s responsibility to
have it replaced with a
dedicated, grounded 3
prong electrical outlet by
a licensed electrician.
Do not under any circumstances:
◊ Cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
◊ Use an adapter plug.
◊ Use an extension cord.
◊ Use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.
◊ Plug the cooktop into an electrical outlet with a
ground fault interrupter (GFI).
• When deep fat frying:
◊ Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain
the desired volume of food without overflow caused
by the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat
fryer unattended.
◊ Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods
with high water content may cause spattering or
spilling of the hot fat.
◊ Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination
of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep
fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to
temperatures above the flash point.
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.)
to remain on the cooktop’s surfaces. The finish may
stain.
• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object
such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may
scratch the cooktop’s surfaces.
• Do not expose the knobs to direct flame, hot utensils
or other sources of heat.
