Instructions for using your cooktop

• Using proper flame size: adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of utensils. Undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothes. Proper utensils and flame sizes will improve efficiency, Burners are different sizes for different utensil sizes. The furniture above hobs has the potential risk during hobs working.

• If you use stovetop grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn the knob to the full LIGHT position when igniting top burners and visually check that burner is lit..

• Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned outward and not extend over adjacent surface burners. This wilt help reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings:
  Boil avers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite,

• Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, except as suggested in this manual, Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• Do not use the searing grill on the cooktop. Searing grills are not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.

• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If the burner is accidentally turned on, covers will become hot and possibly melt. There may be damage to the cooktop due to overheating and can lead to combustion problems.

•   Glazed cooking utensils: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, or other glazed utensils are suitable for hob top use. Avoid the use of glazed utensils whenever possible.

Cleaning Instructions

Clean your hob regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on htiodor filter as greasy deposits in the fan could ignite. When you are cooking food under the hood, turn the fan on.

.

| The surface control knob has not been fully rotated to the LIGHT position.
Check to see if the gas valve is open. IF not, open it.
Burners are clogged. Make sure the burner is off. Use a small wire, toothbrush, or needle to clean burner ports and slots.
Low gas level In the tank. Refill or replace the gas tank.
Low battery power. Replace AAA battery which is under igniter cap.
There Is moisture on the burner. With burner off, dry burner completely.
The surface burner flame is yellow or orange instead of blue| Debris may be present in the gas line. Let the burner run for a few minutes to see if the flame changes to blue.
Humid air in the home, sometimes caused by running a humidifier, may cause flames to be burn yellow.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Make sure all controls are OFF and the cooktop is cool before
• DO NOT use cleaners, bleach, steel wool, or rust removers on the cooktop or burner grates. Only use non-abrasive pads.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Keep appliance area clear of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and Liquids.
• Never use a wire brush or metallic item for cleaning burner ports or orifices. The brush may “shed” bristles that may lodge in the orifice or burner ports and cause a or explosion.
• Use warm soapy water only to clean the burner grates, cooktops, painted surfaces, porcelain surfaces, stainless steel surfaces, and plastic items on your cooktop. Do not use gritty or acid-type cleaners.
• DO NOT allow foods containing acids (such as lemon or tomato juice, or vinegar) to remain on porcelain or painted surfaces. Acids may remove the glossy finish. Wipe up egg spills when the cooktop is cool.
• DO NOT wash warm porcelain surfaces. Allow these areas to cool before cleaning. You could burn yourself, or the porcelain could crack.
• Pitting and discoloration will result if spills are allowed to remain for any length of time on stainless steel.
• DO NOT allow spillovers to remain on the burner caps. The caps could become permanently stained.
• When cleaning around the burners, use care to prevent damage to the electrode (if so equipped). If a sponge or cloth should catch the metal igniter electrode, it could damage or break the electrode. If this occurs, the burner will not light.
