30 OPERATION
CAUTION
• Never leave 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 combinations of oils and fats, stir
together before heating.
• Use a deep fat thermometer if possible to
prevent fat from heating beyond the smoking
point.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan with
too much fat can cause spillovers when food is
added.
• Do not cook foods directly on an open flame on
the cooktop.
• 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. It may also cause
the burner to work improperly. This may cause
carbon monoxide levels which are higher than
what is 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 spill over the sides of the pan.
• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep 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 in the OFF position
and all grates are cool before attempting to
remove them.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range
and call a qualified service technician. Never use
an open flame to locate a leak.
• Always turn the knobs to the OFF position before
removing cookware.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can
cause damage and improper operation of the
range.
• If the range is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains that could blow over the
surface burners and catch on fire.
• Use care when cleaning the cooktop. The
pointed metal ends on the electrodes could
cause injury.
• Make sure that all burners are properly placed.
• Make sure that all grates are properly placed
before using the burners.
• Make sure that the burners and grates are cool
before touching them or placing a pot holder,
cleaning cloth, or other materials on them.
NOTE
• Electric spark igniters from the burners cause a
clicking noise. All the spark igniters on the
cooktop will activate when igniting just one
burner.
