Important Safety Instructions
General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your cooktop, follow basic safety precautions, including:
WARNING
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer
or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
• Ensure the cooktop is installed and grounded by a qualified
installer per the cooktop installation instructions. Have the installer
show you the gas shut off valve and power cord so you know where
and how to turn off the gas supply and unplug the cooktop.
• Do not install/repair/replace any part of the cooktop unless
specifically recommended in the accompanying literature. A
qualified service technician should perform all other service.
• Before doing any type of service, ensure the gas supply is turned
off and the power cord is disconnected.
• Use the cooktop only for tasks consistent with a home appliance
as outlined in this manual. The cooktop is not designed for
commercial use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE COOKTOP DURING OR
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. After use, make sure these surfaces
have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.
• Ensure anyone who uses the cooktop can operate it properly.
• Never let anyone (including children) sit, stand, or climb anywhere
on the cooktop. Doing so may cause damage, serious injury, or death.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the
cooktop. Do not allow children to play with the controls, pull on
the handle or touch other parts of the cooktop.
• Do not store items of interest to children on top of or above the
cooktop. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on
the appliance.
• Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power
failure. If a power failure occurs while operating the cooktop, turn
all control knobs to the OFF position.
• Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter any part of
the cooktop unless as specifically instructed in this manual.
• Put only properly selected cookware on the burners and grates.
Decorative covers may cause a fire hazard or damage the cooktop
if a burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
• Do not leave the cooktop unattended while in use to avoid the
possibility of fire.
• Do not heat sealed food containers such as baby food jars and cans.
Pressure build up may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first time.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth
away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not allow pot
holders to touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the cooktop.
Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the cooktop and
surrounding areas during and immediately after use.
• Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the cooktop.
• If the cooktop is near a window, do not hang long curtains that
could blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
• Clean and maintain the cooktop regularly as instructed in this
manual. Keep the entire cooktop, ventilation filters and cooktop
hoods free of grease that could catch fire.
• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the manufacture’s
recommendations before use to determine if a utensil is suitable for
use on a cooktop. Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware
are not suitable for use on a cooktop. Personal injury or damage may
result from the improper use of cookware.
WARNING
• Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
• Select cookware carefully. Use cookware of the proper size,
material and construction for the particular type of cooking being
done. Cookware needs to be large enough to contain the desired
quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans
with easy to hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not
use cookware with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too
heavy to lift safely.
• Do not allow pots or pans to boil dry.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot cooktop. The
steam can cause serious burns or scalds.
• Use only dry pot holders when removing food and cookware from
the cooktop. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.
• Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a
burner.
• Turn off all cooktop burners before removing control knobs.
• Never operate the cooktop without all knobs in place.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds; move pet
birds to a separate, well-ventilated room when using the cooktop.
• When deep fat frying:
– be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the desired
volume of food without overflow caused by the bubbling of the
fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended.
– avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with high
water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat.
– heat fat slowly and stir together any combination of oils and
fats prior to applying heat. Use a deep fat frying thermometer
to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.
• This cooktop has a 3-prong grounding plug to protect against
possible electric-shock hazards. If only a 2-prong outlet is
available, the owner shall have it replaced by a licensed electrician
with a dedicated, grounded 3-prong electrical outlet.
Under no circumstances should you:
• cut or remove the power cords' third (ground) prong
• use an adapter plug
• use an extension cord
• use a power cord that is frayed or damaged
• plug the cooktop into an electrical outlet with a ground fault
interrupter (GFI).
TO REDUCE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY SHOULD A GREASE FIRE
OCCUR:
• 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.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels - a
violent steam explosion may result.
• Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
– you have a Class ABC extinguisher and you already know how
to operate it.
– the fire is small and contained in its area of origin.
– the fire department is being called.
– you can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
