[. . . ] ß Do not touch any electrical switch. ß Do not use any phone in your building. ß Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions. [. . . ] Do not leave the cooktop unattended while in use. Smother any fire or flame, or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Be careful when preparing a flambé beneath the hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and ignite the grease filters. The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the pan. Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flames can climb the sides of the pan. If there is a drawer directly underneath the appliance without a wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer they must be made of heat-resistant material. Protection from Burns The burners become very hot when in use. Make sure that no one comes in contact with the burners. Do not store toys or items of interest to children in cabinets above or behind the cooktop. Children climbing onto the cooktop to reach these items may become seriously injured. Before discarding an old appliance, disconnect it from the gas and electrical supply, cut off the power cord and remove any doors to prevent hazards.

Metal components have a protective coating which may give off a slight smell the first time your new appliance is heated. The harmless smell and any vapors will dissipate after a short time and do not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect. 8 Using the cooktop Turning on and off, regulating The control knob is used to turn on the burner and regulate the strength of the flame. Regulating the burners The inner and outer burners are both controlled by one control knob. There is a stop at the 6 o'clock position that requires you to press the knob down while turning it in order to get from the high flame to the low flame zone. ^ To reduce the flames from a high to low setting, turn the control knob counterclockwise until you reach the stop. Press the knob down to pass the stop, then release the pressure and set the cooktop to the desired setting. ^ To increase the flames from a low to high setting, turn the control knob clockwise until you reach the stop. Press the knob down to pass the stop, then release the pressure and set the cooktop to the desired setting. [. . . ] Unlike pans used on an electric cooktop, the bases do not need to be even for good results. Thick pan bases will give more even results, as hot spots are reduced due to better heat distribution. ­ When using a wok with the cooktop, remove the trivet and position it so that it is cradled and supported by all six legs of the p ­ an support. ­ Using oversized pans may cause the flames to spread out and damage the surrounding countertop or other countertop appliances. ­ Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the flame can climb the sides of the pan. Thin pan bases will conduct the heat faster but not as evenly as thick pan bases. [. . . ]
