Important Safety
Instructions
WARNING: Read all instructions before using this appliance. To
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, take these
precautions:
General Safety
• This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. See the
Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
• Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
• Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances
are in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
• When children become old enough to use the cooktop, they must be
instructed in safe practices.
• Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop.
• Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
• In the event that personal clothing catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
• Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact
with hot burners or hot burner grates.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes when applied to a hot surface.
• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.
Never use water on cooking fires.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a
hot burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
• Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop.
If the cooktop is near a window, be certain that curtains or any other window
covering do not blow over or near the burners; they could catch on fire.
When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate sur-
rounding area.
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
cause burns from steam.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking,
and greasy spillovers may ignite.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adja-
cent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop.
Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never
be worn while cooking.
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.
Leave the hood ventilator on when flambeing food.
• Smother flames from a grease fire with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or
other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner. Be careful to prevent burns. If
the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department.
• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels on grease fires. A violent
steam explosion may result.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.

WARNING: To avoid electrical shock hazard, before servicing the
cooktop, switch power off at the service panel and lock the panel to
prevent the power from being switched on accidentally.
Fire Extinguishers
Use an extinguisher only if:
• You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you know how to operate
it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Gas Appliance Safety
WARNING: If the information in this manual is not fol-
lowed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or death.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flamma-
ble 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 fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
authorized service agency or the gas supplier.
Gas Cooking Safety
• During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom
of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not blow flam-
mable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend
beyond the edges of the pan.
• Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Have the
installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.
• For proper lighting and performance of burners, keep igniters clean and dry.
• In the event that a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a
door. Wait at least 5 minutes before using the cooktop.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Sealed Burners
Your new cooktop has sealed gas burners. There are no burner parts under the
cooktop to clean, disassemble or adjust. Your cooktop has two different burner
cap sizes, large and medium. Match the pan to the size burner.
Burner Caps
The burner cap is porcelainized steel. On the underside of the cap is one Iocator
which must fit into the corresponding notch on the burner base. tf the burner cap
is not placed correctly, the burner may not light or the flame may not burn com-
pletely or correctly.
