9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE.
INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE UNIT FOR THE OWNER.
OWNER: PLEASE RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed including those in the following pages.
Fire Safety
Save these instructions.
Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to
come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or
grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:
a.
Never leave surface units unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambéing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette, Cherries
Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c.
Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents do not push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
a.
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
b.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
c.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
d.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and
you already 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.
During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.
Gas Safety
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents.
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.
WARNING
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do
not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job
of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly
tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint
smell. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and
contact an authorized service technician to diagnose the
issue. See Warning, ~ "Gas Appliance Safety"

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly
positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in
use. Each of the feet must be placed into the
corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a
grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.
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.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra
low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low
burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will
spark.
loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause 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.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
Cleaning Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects 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 some by-products
which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation.
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small
amounts of Carbon Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde
and Soot. To minimize exposure to these substances the
burners should be adjusted by a certified installer or
agency to ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or use a ventilation fan
or hood when cooking with gas. Always operate the unit
according to the instructions in this manual.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from steam.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of
the heating element or burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.
This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Statement of Limited Product Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this
appliance. It is specifically designed for use when
heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals
in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and
could result in injury.
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.
WARNING
Failure to operate knobs properly may result in personal
injury and damage to the appliance.
This appliance is not intended for operation with an external time switch or external remote control.
Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged. Contact an authorized servicer.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. Refer all servicing to a factory authorized service center.

Burner Base and Burner Cap Placement
▯ After electrical connection is complete, place each
burner base on the corresponding location on the
cooktop.
▯ Pay special attention to avoid damaging the igniter
during installation of the base.
▯ The small hole or cutout near the edge should also
line up with the igniter.
▯ Once each burner base is located and resting evenly,
place each burner cap on its correct burner base.
▯ 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.
▯ Make sure the cap is centered on the burner base and
lies flat and that there is no gap between the burner
base and the burner cap.
▯ Gently try to move the burner cap from side to side to
check for proper placement. If placement is correct,
the cap will click from side to side as the prongs hit
the grooved ridge on the underside of the 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.
