6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Use only dry pot holders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam.
Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a pot holder.
• If using glass cookware, make sure it is designed for top-of-range cooking.
• To prevent burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles
toward the side or back of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burners.
• NEVER place any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high flame setting.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combination of oils or fats, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.
• Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking
point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying.
Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• SIGNATURE KITCHEN SUITE does not recommend using a gas cooktop for the
preparation of flaming foods.
If you choose to prepare flaming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.
• Do not use a wok on the surface burners if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed
over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage
the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This
may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in
a health hazard.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost or moisture on foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
• Do not place plastic items on the cooktop - they may melt if left too close to the vent.
• Keep all plastics away from the surface burners.
• To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position
and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop
and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
• Always turn knob to the OFF position before removing cookware.
• Do not lift the cooktop.
Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation of the cooktop.
• If the cooktop is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and catch on fire.
