IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
!WARNING
This gas appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel combustion make sure this appliance is installed, operated, and maintained according to the instructions in this booklet.
!WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, make sure your cooktop has been properly grounded and always disconnect it from main power supply before any servicing.
!WARNING
To avoid death, personal injury or property damage, information in this manual must be followed exactly.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
•Do not try to light any appliance.
•Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
•Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
!CAUTION
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
ALL APPLIANCES
1.Proper Installation —Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
2.Never Use Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.
3.Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4.Wear Appropriate Apparel—Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using appliance.
5.User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
6.Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in oven or near surface units.
7.Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires—Smother fire or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8.Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
SURFACE COOKING UNITS
1.Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner flame. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
2.Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended—Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
3.Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line around burners. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.
4.Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
5.Utensil Handles Should be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Delayed Ignition
Surface Burners
Burner should ignite within 4 seconds. If burner does not ignite within 4 seconds turn control knob to OFF position and follow directions in “Placing Grates and Burner Caps” section. Try burner again. If burner still does not ignite in 4 seconds, contact an authorized servicer.
VENTILATION HOOD
1.Clean Ventilation Hood Frequently—Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2.When flaming foods under hood, turn fan ON.
In Case of Fire
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed as follows:

Precautions |
|
• Do not cook food directly on |
|
|
rangetop surface, always use |
|
|
|
cookware. |
• |
Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical |
|
|
mixtures may interact with objectionable or even |
|
|
hazardous results. |
|
• |
Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas. They |
|
|
may stick and melt. |
|
• |
Do not slide rough metal objects across rangetop |
|
|
surface. Scratching or metal marking can result. |
|
• Do not use damp sponge or dishcloth to clean rangetop when range is hot. Steam from sponge or dishcloth can burn.
• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby. Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.
• Do not allow pots to boil dry as this can cause damage to cooking surface and pan.
• Do not use rangetop surface as a cutting board.
1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not water. Not salt. Not flour.
2.As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface burner controls to OFF.
•As an added precaution, turn off gas supply and power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.

•Appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping system by closing manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5kPa) (14" WCP).
•Gas supply pressure for checking regulator setting must be at least 1" WCP above manifold pressure shown on rating label.
•Must use pressure regulator supplied with cooktop.
Installation
! WARNING
To avoid property damage or personal injury, only use a new flexible connector that is AGA/ CGA design certified.
•Do not use an old connector.
•Do not reuse a connector after moving appliance.
Gas Connection
Connect gas supply to regulator using hard pipe or a flexible connector. Pressure regulator supplied with this appliance has a ½ " NPT female connection.

Testing for Gas Leaks Place Grates and Burner Caps
! WARNING
To avoid property damage or serious personal injury, never use a lighted match to test for gas leaks.
After final gas connection is made, test all connections in gas supply piping and cooktop for gas leaks.
1.Place soap suds on connection.
•Bubbles appear if leak is present.
To make sure cap is properly aligned and leveled, move burner cap around on burner base. Pegs in the burner base fit into recess in underside of burner cap. Burner cap must be correctly seated on burner base for proper operation of burner.

Testing for Gas Leaks
2.Tighten joint if leak is at factory fitting.
•If leak is not at factory fitting, unscrew, apply more joint compound, and tighten to correct leak.
3.Retest connection for leak after tightening.
•Retest any connections that were disturbed.
Make sure proper cap size is on each burner base. Burner does not burn properly if wrong size burner cap is placed on burner base.
Turn on burners to check for proper operation. See Operating Surface Burners section for burner operating instructions.
