INSTALLATION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the ridgetop gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

WARNING

• Make sure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer, according to the installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.
• Make sure the appliance is properly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. The appliance can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the installation instructions.
• These adjustments must be done by a qualified service technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing these adjustments assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the appliance.
• This product should not be installed below ventilation type hood systems that direct air in a downward direction.
• Doing so may cause ignition and combustion problems with the cooktop resulting in personal injury and may affect the cooking performance of the unit.
• To prevent fire hazard or electrical shock, do not use an adapter plug or an extension cord, or remove the grounding prong from the electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.
• To prevent poor air circulation, place the appliance out of the kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the appliance unless it is specifically mentioned in this manual. All other services should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Make sure that all packaging materials are removed from the appliance before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially harmful substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the imperfect combustion of natural or LP gas. Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish  rather than a yellow flame, will minimize imperfect combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
• Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the ridgetop. They could damage the appliance causing severe personal injury.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the surface elements.
• Cookware will be hot. Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth to move cookware.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure in the containers may cause them to burst which may result in injury.
• Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects  horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

WARNING

• Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Gas leaks may occur in the system and result in a serious hazard. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL/CSA approved gas detector. Install and use in accordance with the gas detector manufacturer’s instructions.
• To prevent staining or discoloration, clean appliance after each use.

CAUTION

• Wear gloves when cleaning the ridgetop to avoid injury or burns.

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS

WARNING
Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating.
Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.

• Do not store or use flammable material near or on the cooktop. Flammable materials include paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids such as grease or cooking oil. These materials can  be ignited when the cooktop is in use.
• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments, which may ignite if they contact hot surfaces, and cause severe burns.
• If cabinet storage is provided directly above cooking surface, use it to store items that are not frequently used and can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat. Temperatures may be unsafe for volatile items such as flammable liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

CAUTION
Be certain that all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating.
Keep plastic, clothes, paper, and other flammable materials away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.

• Always disconnect power from the appliance before servicing.
• Do not allow aluminum foil to contact heating elements.

DEEP FAT FRYER

• Use extreme caution when moving or disposing of hot grease.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• If frying combinations of oils and fats, stir them together before heating.
• 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 with too much fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

CHILD SAFETY

• Do not leave small children unattended near the ridgetop.

WARNING
Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of the appliance – children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children.
• Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.

SURFACE BURNERS

WARNING

• Even if the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to the Off position. If you smell gas, immediately open a window and ventilate the area for five minutes prior to using the burner. Do not leave the burners on unattended.
• Use proper pan size. Do not use pans that are unstable or that can be easily tipped.
  Select cookware with flat bottoms large enough to cover burners. To avoid spillovers, make sure the cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on the cooktop can ignite. Pans should not be larger than 11 in.(280 mm) in diameter. Use of oversized pans may discolor the stainless areas around the cooktop perimeter. Clean discolored areas with stainless steel appliance
  cleaner. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

CAUTION

• Be sure that all surface controls are set in the Off position prior to supplying gas to the rangetop.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers may cause smoke and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Always turn the knobs to the Lite position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
• Control the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Only use 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 towels or other bulky cloth items. Use a pot holder.
• If using glass cookware, make sure the cookware is designed for range-top cooking.
• To prevent burns from ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the cooktop without extending them over adjacent burners.
• 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.

CAUTION

• 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.

• 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 units— 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 appliance 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 appliance.
  If the appliance 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.

• Stand away from the appliance while frying.

• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

GLASS-CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE

• Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS or let clothing or other flammable materials  contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. This includes the induction plate.
• Do not cook on a broken induction plate. If the induction plate is broken, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken induction plate and create a risk of electric shock. Switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock and contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Do not use the glass induction plate surface as a cutting board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass induction plate, even when it is not being used.
• Select pans that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the heating elements.
• Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware. Do not rely on the pan sensor.

WARNING
Do not leave fats or oils to heat unattended on the cooktop. Spillovers can result in a fire.

• The induction plate is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

• Turn cookware handles inward so they don’t extend over adjacent surface units.
  This reduces the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware.

• Immediately clean spills on the cooking area to prevent a tough cleaning chore later.

• Some cleaners can produce dangerous fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the induction plate surface, because they can get hot.

• Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on. Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Proper contact of cookware to burner also will improve efficiency. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spills that may catch  on fire.

• Clean induction plate with caution. Do not use sponges or cloths to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, it can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce  noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Do not turn surface units on before placing cookware.

• Do not store heavy items above the induction plate surface that could fall and damage it.

• Do not place aluminum foil or plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings or any other material on the ridgetop when it is in use.

• Do not use a steel-wool pad or scrub pad or abrasive cleaning pads. They can scratch the surface.

USING SOUS VIDE

CAUTION

• Use only food grade plastic bags or bags made from materials recommended by the manufacturer for use in cooking.

• Allow sous vide to cool before cleaning or draining the water bath.

• Make sure the water level in the sous vide pan remains between the minimum and maximum fill lines both before and after adding the food pouches.

• Do not operate the sous vide module if the water level is not between these lines.
  Doing so may result in electric shock or fire.

• Do not touch the water in the sous vide module until it has cooled. Use tongs to take out pouches in the water bath. Failure to follow this precaution can result in burns.

• Allow the sous vide module to cool before touching any surfaces. Use an oven mitt while operating the sous vide to avoid burns or other injury.

• Don’t leave water in water bath after use. Allow the module to cool before draining the bath and drying it with a clean cloth.

• Do not place or store objects on the glass cover of the sous vide. Doing so can damage the cover.

• Only use pouches which are designed for vacuum sealing.

• Vacuum sealing does not prevent food from spoiling. Refrigerate perishable food.

• Sharp edges on food, such as bones or dried noodles, can puncture pouches during vacuum sealing. Wrap sharp edges with paper towels or softer food items.

FOOD PACKAGING AND STORAGE SAFETY INFORMATION

• Always wash your hands carefully with soap and water before and after handling food.
• Keep all work surfaces and utensils clean and disinfected before and after packaging foods.
• Temperature, moisture, acidity, and salt or sugar content of foods can influence the growth of potentially harmful microorganisms in food.
• For safety, vacuum-sealed fresh (perishable) foods should be kept in the “safe zones”: cooled to 40°F/4°C or below or heated to 130°F/55°C or above.
• Vacuum-sealed pouches of cooked foods can be quick chilled by submerging them in ice water (half ice/half water) for 30 to 60 minutes and then refrigerated for up to 48 hours or frozen for up to a year.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Match the size of the cookware to the amount of food being cooked to save energy when heating. Heating ½ quart of water requires more energy in a 3-quart pot than in a 1-quart pot.
• Match the size of the cooktop burner or element to the size of the cookware in use. Using a large element for a small pan wastes heating energy, and the exposed surface of the element is a burn or fire hazard.

SAFETY DURING USE

• Accessible parts may become hot when the grill is in use.
• When disposing of the ridgetop, cut off the power cord.

SAFETY WHEN CLEANING

• For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet cleaners to clean the product.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

• To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly. The USDA has indicated the following as safe minimum internal temperatures for consumption:
• Ground meats: 160 °F
• All poultry: 165 °F
• Beef, veal, pork, or lamb: 145 °F
• Fish/seafood: 145 °F
