Important Safety Instructions
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
The following instructions are based on safety considerations and must be strictly followed to
eliminate the potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Have your appliance installed by a qualified installer according to the installation instructions.
Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off valve and how to shut it off in an
emergency.
Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or damage to unit, do not attempt to adjust,
repair, service, or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this
book. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified installer or servicer.
To Prevent Fire Or Smoke Damage
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over
burners.
Never leave any items unattended on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may
increase pressure in closed containers which may cause
them to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may
melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted
surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be
limited to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
In Case Of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading
the flame. Extinguish flame; then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.
Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking
soda to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a
grease fire.
If fire is in a pan on the surface burner, cover pan. Never
attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan.
Child Safety
Never leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
Children must be taught that the
appliance and utensils in it can be
hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe
place, out of reach of small children.
Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children
should not be allowed to play with
controls or other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: Never store items of
interest to children in cabinets above
an appliance.
.
Prepared Food Warning
Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen
food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is
otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard
the food and its container. The food could be
contaminated.
Cooking Safety
Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it
on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface
burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that
the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn
burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive
flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the
appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

Important Safety Instructions
Never leave a surface cooking operation unattended
especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up
greasy spills as soon as
possible. Do not use high heat for extended cooking
operations.
Never heat an unopened container on the surface burner
or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to
burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because they can trail
across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on
appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying
cool before attempting to move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan on.
Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable
material to avoid clothing fires.
Loose fitting or long hangingsleeved apparel should not be
worn while cooking. Clothing may
ignite or catch utensil handles.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose handled pans. Pans that are heavy
to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume
of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of
fat.
To minimize burns, ignition
of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over
adjacent surface burners.
Always turn pan handles
toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the
room where they are easily hit or reached by small
children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units.
The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly
recommended in this manual can create serious safety
hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the
life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner
grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
Important Safety Notice And
Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP)
fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances
can also be minimized by properly venting the burners
to the outdoors by opening the windows and/or door in
the room where the appliance is located.
