5 OPERATION

5.1 Operating/safety guidelines
 BURN HAZARD, FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND/OR CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD Failure to
obey the following warnings could result in damage, a burn hazard, possible explosion, carbon monoxide
buildup, serious injury, or death:
• Avoid negative draft or positive draft situations or the operation of this Cooktop during excessively
windy conditions . Negative draft caused by air moving across the Cooktop may blow out the burner
flame or move the flame into the Cooktop, resulting in damage, a burn hazard, possible explosion,
carbon monoxide buildup, injury, or death . Do not operate the Cooktop in excessively windy conditions
as this may cause a negative or positive draft . Doing so may blow out the top burner flame during use,
and can result in an explosion, fire hazard, injury, or death .
• The Cooktop must be completely separated and/or sealed from other air moving or air-consuming
devices such as, but not limited to, furnaces, microwave ovens, clothes dryers, cooling fans, and doors
or drawers in common cabinets . Failure to do so can affect the appliance(s) combustion air supply by
creating either a negative or positive draft, which can result in serious injury or death .
• Do not use the Cooktop for space heating . Doing so may cause overheating of the Cooktop and/or
could cause carbon monoxide poisoning, resulting in serious injury or death .
• While operating the Cooktop, frequently check the temperature of contents within cabinet areas above
the Cooktop . Do not store flammable or combustible material in cabinets above, or above and adjacent
to, the Cooktop . Failure to follow this instruction could result in a fire, serious injury, or death .
• Do not heat unopened containers . They could explode . The hot contents may cause burns and
container particles may cause injury .
• Do not store flammable materials on, in, or near Cooktop . Any fumes can create an explosion and/or
fire hazard .
• Do not operate Cooktop if it is damaged or not working properly .
• Verify sufficient gas supply before attempting to light any burner . Air in the gas supply line will
significantly delay burner ignition, and a burner may light unexpectedly as the air in the line clears out
and is replaced by LP gas; this unexpected ignition may burn you . Air may be introduced into the supply
line when the vehicle gas bottle is replaced, during servicing of other gas appliances, etc .
• If any burner should extinguish (after initially lighting or due to accidental blowout), turn all burner
knobs clockwise to OFF and WAIT 5 MINUTES before attempting to re-light the burner .
• Do not touch burners, burner grates, or areas near burners during and after use . Do not let clothing or
other flammable materials contact burners or areas near burners until these areas have had sufficient
time to cool .
• Use large enough pans to cover the burner area and contain the cooked food . This will reduce or
eliminate heavy splattering or spills that can ignite and burn you .
• Be sure that glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the Cooktop . Only certain kinds of glass utensils
are suitable for surface or burner use without breaking due to sudden changes in temperature .
• Never leave burners unattended when in use, as pan contents may boil over, resulting in smoke or a
grease spill that may ignite .
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over other top burners . This reduces the chance of burns due to
bumping a pan .
• Because grease is flammable, never allow grease to collect around top burners or on the Cooktop
surface . Wipe up any grease spills immediately .
• Never use water on grease fires, and never pick up a flaming pan . Smother a flaming pan with a tight-
fitting lid or cookie sheet . Flaming grease outside of the pan can be extinguished with baking soda or a
multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher .
• Use care when lighting a burner by hand . If the burner lights unexpectedly, or your hand is close to the
burner, you may be burned .
• Burner flame should not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil . The flame could burn you and
cause poor cooking results .
• Control knobs must be turned OFF when not cooking . Someone could be burned or a fire may start if a
