State of California Proposition 65 Warning:
WARNING
This product can expose you to chemicals including vinyl
chloride, which is known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate small amounts of
carbon monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean
ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde
during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists
formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon
monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1.
Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2.
Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
Electric Safety
▯ Before you plug in an electrical cord, be sure all
controls are in the OFF position.
▯ For appliances equipped with a cord and plug, do not
cut or remove the ground prong. It must be plugged
into a matching grounding type receptacle to avoid
electrical shock. If there is any doubt as to whether the
wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer
should have it checked by a certified electrician.
▯ This appliance should be installed in accordance with
the National Electric Code or Canadian Electrical
Code. It is required that the cooktop be installed on a
grounded, non-GFCI branch circuit.
▯ Installer-show the owner the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
▯ Before installing, turn power OFF at the service panel.
Lock service panel to prevent power from being turned
ON accidentally.
▯ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a certified technician. Installation,

10
Burner Cap and Burner Base Placement
Checking Burner Cap Placement
▯ After electrical connection is complete, place each
burner base on the corresponding location on the
cooktop. One of the three bars on the burner base
should line up with the notch and prevent the base
from rotating. The small hole or cutout near the edge
should also line up with the igniter. Pay special
attention to avoid damaging the igniter during
installation of the base. See Illustration below.
▯ Once each base is located and resting evenly, place
each burner cap on its correct burner base. See
Illustration.
▯ Place burner cap gently on top of base so that the
prongs of the burner base fit snugly into the groove of
the burner cap.
▯ If the maintop is removed by a certified installer (for
example to check electrical or piping connection) the
panhead screws that were removed must be reinstalled to ensure proper functionality of burners.
