[. . . ] 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 let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on the appliance. 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. Do not heat empty pots or pans, they may be damaged. 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 The control knobs are used to turn the burners on and regulate the strength of the flames. Turning on ^ To turn on the burner, press the control knob down and turn it counterclockwise to the large flame symbol. The ignitor will click and ignite the gas. ^ When the flame appears, keep the control knob pressed in for 8-10 seconds to allow the Ignition Safety Control to reach operating temperature and release it. If the flame goes out, repeat the above procedure, keeping the control knob pressed in for a few extra seconds. ^ Adjust the knob to the desired setting. Since the outer portion of the flame is much hotter than the center, the flame should be set so that its tips do not extend beyond the sides of the pan. [. . . ] ­ Pots with a smaller diameter than the pan support and pots that do not sit securely (without wobbling) are hazardous and should not be used. 10 Using the cooktop Safety feature This gas cooktop incorporates an Ignition Safety Control which stops the supply of gas if the flame goes out. ^ To reignite the burners, turn the control knob clockwise to "ß", then follow the procedures outlined in "Turning on and off". This safety feature is not operated by electricity, it will be active even if the appliance is in use during a power failure. Using the cooktop during a power failure If there is an interruption to the electrical supply, the gas can be ignited using a match. ^ Press down on the desired control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the large flame symbol.
