Gas Appliance Safety
IMPORTANT: THE APPLIANCE HAS TO BE INSTALLED
BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER.
INSTALLER: LEAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WITH THE
APPLIANCE AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
IMPORTANT: SAVE FOR THE LOCAL INSPECTOR’S
USE.
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.
Gas Appliance Safety
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve
is located.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and
doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the
appliance.
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. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself"
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner
control in the ON position and this must be done by a
qualified service technician.

ʫ The burning of gas cooking fuel 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
manual and provide good ventilation.
ʫ Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. Kitchen fumes such
as overheating margarines and cooking oils may be
harmful.
Fire Safety
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop.
Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. For example, never use the appliance for
warming or heating the room. Never use the appliance for
storage.
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.
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.
During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be
lit manually.
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.
For proper lighting and performance of burners, keep
igniters clean and dry.
6
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) Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat
or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always
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.
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:
Ȼ You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already know how to
operate it.
Ȼ The fire is small and contained in the area
where it started.
Ȼ The fire department is being called.
Ȼ You can fight the fire with your back to an
exit.
use cookware
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
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.
CAUTION: All igniters spark when any single burner
is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when
the cooktop is in use.
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. This can damage the appliance
and potentially cause 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.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire
to turn it off.
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.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes or sponges can cause burns from
steam.
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.

Choosing Cookware - Cookware Recommendations
Pan Bottom Diameter
ʫ The flame should be the same size as the bottom of
the pan or smaller. Do not use small pans with high
flame settings as the flames can lick up the sides of
the pan.
ʫ Oversize pans that span two burners are placed front
to back, not side to side.
ʫ For best cooking results, large pans should not extend
over the sides of the grates.
Use Balanced Pans
ʫ Balance is important for stability and even cooking.
ʫ Pans must sit level on the cooktop grate without
rocking or wobbling.
ʫ Center pan over burner.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Daily Cleaning
The entire Cooktop can be safely cleaned by wiping
