The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small 
amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, 
Formaldehyde and Soot. To minimize exposure 
to these substances, the burners should be 
adjusted by a certified installer or agency to 
ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper 
ventilation with an open window or use a 
ventilation fan or hood when cooking with Gas. 
Always operate the unit according to the 
instructions in this manual.

To avoid risk of serious injury, damage to 
appliance or cookware, please observe the 
following:

•

Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie 
sheets, etc. should never be used on the cooktop. 

•

Placement of large stock pots should be staggered 
when used on the cooktop. 

•

Select the base diameter to match the diameter of the 
flame. The diameter of the flame should be the same 
size as the pan base or slightly smaller. Oversize or 
under size pans sacrifice cooking performance. A 
5-1/2" (140 mm) base size is generally the smallest 
recommended.

•

Balance is important for stability and even cooking. The 
handle must not be heavier than the pan and tilt it 
unevenly. A pan must sit level on the grate without 
rocking or wobbling. 

•

Food packaged in aluminum foil should not be placed 
directly on the burner grate. Aluminum foil can melt 
during cooking.

•

Do not let plastic, paper or cloth come in contact with a 
hot burner grate, They may melt or catch fire.

•

Never let a pan boil dry. This can damage your pan and 
the cooking surface.

•

Professional quality pans with metal handles are 
recommended because plastic handles can melt or 
blister if the flame extends up the side of the pan. 
Professional quality pans are found at restaurant 
supply stores and gourmet specialty shops. All 
cookware should have these characteristics: good heat 
conductivity, good balance, correctly sized base 
diameter, a heavy, flat base, and a proper fitting lid.  

•

For best cooking results, the flame should be contained 
under the bottom of the pan.

•

Aluminum and copper are pan materials that conduct 
the heat quickly and evenly. These metals are 
sometimes attached to the base or in the core between 
stainless steel.
