IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 minimized further by venting with an open window or using the ventilation fan.
• When you get your cooktop, have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
• Have your cooktop installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the installation instructions. Any adjustment and service should be 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 properly-grounded three­prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the cooktop before operating it
to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be used.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a cooktop is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
• CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop—children climbing on the
cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
• Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids.
• Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance is in use.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
• Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and may cause severe burns.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well­fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
5
wWARNING: NEVER use
this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or center of the cooktop without extending over adjacent burner or vent area.
• Always turn the surface burners to OFF before removing the cookware.
• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Use least possible amount of fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too
full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at high flame setting.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
• Do not use a wok on the cooking surface if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
• Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
• Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do flame foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
• Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers, and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on cooktop can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
• Keep all plastics away from burners.
• To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be certain that the controls for all burners are at the off position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove a grate.
• If the cooktop is located near a window,
do not use long curtains which could blow over the burners and create a fire hazard.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the cooktop and call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
• Do not cover or block the area around the cooktop knobs. This area must be kept clear
for proper ventilation and burner performance.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see the Glass Cooktop Cleaning section.
• When the cooktop is cool, use only CERAMA BRYTE®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE®Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.
• To avoid possible damage, do not apply the cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all the cleaning cream residue.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
• Do not operate the glass cooktop if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.
• Do not stand on the glass cooktop.
• Do not touch glass surface while cooking. This
surface may be hot enough to burn. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the cooktop.
• Hot surfaces may include both the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
• Large scratches or impacts to glass cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls for all surface units are at the OFF position and the entire glass surface is cool before attempting to clean the cooktop.
• Do not place or store items on top of the glass cooktop surface even when it is not in use.
• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
AVIS IMPORTANT DE SÉCURITÉ :
• La loi de l’état de Californie sur l’eau potable sécurisée et l’application des lois sur les produits toxiques exige que le Gouverneur de
Californie publie une liste de substances qui, selon les connaissances de l’état, causent le cancer, les maladies congénitales ou autre lésion reproductive, et exige que les entreprises avertissent leurs clients de leur exposition potentielle à de telles substances.
• Les appareils à gaz peuvent causer une exposition mineure à quatre de ces substances, soit le benzène, le monoxyde de
carbone, le formaldéhyde et la suie, surtout à cause de la combustion incomplète du gaz naturel ou des carburants PL.
Des brûleurs correctement ajustés, ce qui est indiqué par des flammes bleuâtres plutôt que jaunes, réduiront au minimum la combustion incomplète. L’exposition à ces substances peut être réduite davantage en aérant avec une fenêtre ouverte ou en utilisant le ventilateur d’aération.
• Lorsque vous recevez votre cuisinière, demandez à l’installateur de vous montrer l’emplacement de la soupape d’arrêt et la façon de la fermer en cas de besoin.
• Demandez à un installateur qualifié d’installer et de mettre à la terre correctement votre cuisinière, conformément aux instructions
d’installation. Tout ajustement ou entretien doit être effectué seulement par des installateurs de cuisinière à gaz qualifiés ou des techniciens de service.
• Branchez votre cuisinière seulement sur une prise de 120 volts mise à la terre. Ne retirez
pas la broche ronde de mise à la terre de la prise. En cas de doute concernant la mise à la terre du système électrique de la résidence, vous assumez la responsabilité et l’obligation personnelles de faire remplacer toute prise non mise à la terre par une prise à trois broches correctement mise à la terre conformément au Code national de l’électricité. N’utilisez pas de rallonge de câble avec cet appareil.
• Assurez-vous que tous les matériaux d’emballage sont retirés de la cuisinière avant
de la mettre en marche, pour empêcher les dommages d’incendie et de fumée au cas où le matériau d’emballage s’enflammerait.
• Assurez-vous que la cuisinière est ajustée correctement par un technicien de service ou un installateur qualifié en fonction du type de gaz (naturel ou PL) qui sera utilisé.
• N’essayez pas de réparer ou de remplacer toute pièce de la cuisinière sauf si cela est spécifiquement recommandé dans ce manuel.
Toutes les autres actions de service doivent être référées à un technicien qualifié.
• Ne laissez pas les enfants seuls ou non surveillés lorsqu’une cuisinière est chaude ou en marche. Ils pourraient être brûlés
grièvement.
• ATTENTION :Les articles
suscitant l’intérêt des enfants ne doivent pas être rangés dans les armoires au-dessus de la cuisinière—les enfants grimpant sur la
cuisinière pour saisir ces articles pourraient être grièvement blessés.
• Nettoyez la cuisinière avec précaution. Si une éponge ou un chiffon mouillé est utilisé pour essuyer les renversements sur une cuisinière chaude, faites attention d’éviter les brûlures causées par la vapeur.
• Ne nettoyez pas la cuisinière avec des nettoyants inflammables ou volatils.
• Ne nettoyez pas la cuisinière lorsqu’elle est en marche.
• Evitez de rayer la cuisinière avec des
instruments pointus ou avec des bagues ou d’autres bijoux.
• Laissez refroidir les grilles des brûleurs et les autres surfaces avant de les toucher ou de les laisser là où les enfants peuvent les atteindre.
• N’utilisez jamais la cuisinière comme planche à découper.
• Ne portez jamais de vêtements lâches ou amples lorsque vous utilisez cet appareil.
Faites attention pour saisir des articles rangés dans les armoires au-dessus de la cuisinière. La matière inflammable peut s’enflammer si elle entre en contact avec les flammes ou les surfaces chaudes et peut causer des brûlures graves.
• Pour votre sécurité, n’utilisez jamais votre appareil pour chauffer ou réchauffer la pièce.
wAVERTISSEMENT :
N’utilisez JAMAIS cet appareil pour réchauffer votre maison. Si vous le faites, vous risquez d’occasionner un empoisonnement par monoxyde de carbone et de surchauffer la cuisinière.
