Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up

injury.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Choosing Suitable Cookware
Cookware Recommendations
Pan Bottom Diameter
▯ The flame should be the same size as the bottom of the
  pan or smaller.
▯ Do not use small pans with high flame settings as the
  flames can lick up the sides of the pan.
▯ Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front to
  back, not side to side.
▯ For best cooking results, large pans should not extend
  over the sides of the grates.
Use Balanced Pans
▯ Balance is important for stability and even cooking.

▯ Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without rocking
  or wobbling.
▯ Center pan over burner.

Proper Fitting Lid
▯ A well-fitting lid helps shorten the cooking time.

▯ For best cooking results, always use a lid when boiling
  water.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
The entire cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping with
a soapy sponge, then rinsing and drying. If stubborn soil
remains, follow the recommended cleaning methods
below.

Cleaning recommendations:
▯    Always use the mildest cleaner that will do the job.
     Use clean, soft cloths, sponges or paper towels.
▯    Rub stainless steel finishes in the direction of the
     grain. Wipe area dry to avoid water marks.
▯    Before cleaning, be certain the burners are turned off
     and the grates and burners are cool.
▯    Do not clean removable cooktop parts in any self
     cleaning oven or dishwasher.
▯    After cleaning, place all parts in their proper positions
     before using cooktop.
▯    For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean
     and dry.
▯    Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting
     performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
     these when there is a boilover or when the burner
     does not light even though the electronic igniters click.
▯    Do not use flammable cleansers such as lighter fluid.

9      CAUTION
       All igniters spark when any single burner is turned
       on. Do not touch any of the burners when the
       cooktop is in use.
