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.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be

or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Cooktop

grounded by a qualified installer,

with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should by performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

●

Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only.

Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a grounded three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
