IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 s'tare to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your appliance, follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
• Have the installer show you the location
of the cooktop gas cut-off valve and how
to shut it off if necessary.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the cooktop before operating it to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packing material ignite.
• Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic
path and out of drafty locations and areas
with poor air circulation.
• 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 fimls.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by
a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized by
venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted
by a qualified service technician or installer
for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is
to be used.
WARNING: These adjusmlents must be
made by a qualified service technician in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• 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.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
*Before performing any service,
DISCONNECT THE COOKTOP POWER
SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD
DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING
THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE
CIRCUIT BRE:LKER.
* Do not leave children alone---children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the drip tray handles or cooktop. They
could damage the cooktop and even tip it
ovm; causing severe personal injury.
• Do not store flammable materials near
the eooktop.
* CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED

* For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
,*When cooking, do not touch the burners,
burner grates, grille or griddle (on some
models) or the surrounding areas.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact, the burners, grille or griddle (on
some models) or areas near the burners;
allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop and the drip tray
handles.
The drip trays can get hot. Do not remove
the drip trays until they are cool.
,*Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters
clean to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case
of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor
or other spirits on the cooktop. The blowm.
if in operation, could spread the flames.
,*DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion
or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure
a fresh air supply is available.
* Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careflll when
reaching for items stored over the cooktop.
Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with burners or burner
grates and may cause severe burns.
* Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch
burners or burner grates. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
,, Do not use water on grease fixes. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the conn'ols off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-fitting
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguishen
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda ol, if available,
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
tbam-Vype fire extinguishm:
,, DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER
APPLIANCE.
,, Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the cooktop.
Clean drip trays and liners after every use.
" If you smell gas, tile installer has not done a
proper job of checking for leaks. You can have
a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if
the connections are not completely tight.
Finding a gas leak is NOT a do4t-yourself
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the ON position and tor
your protection it must be done by a qualified
service technician. Never use an open flame
to locate a leak.
,, If by some chance a burner goes out and gas
escapes, open a window or a door to let the
room air out. Do not attempt to use the
appliance until the gas has had time to
dissipate. Follow the instructions in What
to do if You Smell Gas.
• Do not use aluminum foil to llne any part of
the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in
a fire hazard or the obstruction of the flow
of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an
excellent heat insulator and heat will be
trapped underneath it. This trapped heat
can upset the cooking performance and
can damage the finish of the cooktop.
,*Do not heat unopened food containers;
a build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst.
'*Set the burner control so that the flame heats
only the bottom of the pan and does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU
burners can easily melt cookware handles.
, Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot
holder, to prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food.
, Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
,*Always use the LITE position when igniting
the burners and make sure the burners have
ignited, including the center simmer flame.
, Never leave the burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. If the
burner flames are smothered by a severe
boilover which aftects the ignitor; unburned
gas will escape into the room.
, 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 holden
, To minimize the possibility of burus, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookw-are handles toward the side or back of
the cooktop without extending over adjacent
burners.
, Never block the vents (air openings) of the
cooktop. They provide the air inlet and
outlet that are necessary tbr the cooktop to
operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the drip tray and
drip tray handle area.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
*Always turn the burners to OFF before
removing cookware.
"Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
*Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh
tbods can cause hot fat to bubble tip and over
tbe sides of tbe pan.
• Use the least possible amount of fat for
effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the
pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when
tbod is added.
* Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent overbeating fat beyond the smoking
point.
* Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially
a deep fat fryen Wait until tile fat is cool.
* When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for cooktop use.
* If a combination of otis or fats will be used
in frying, stir togetber before heating or
as fats melt slowly.
* Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from tile vent may igllite flammable
items and will increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause tbem to burst.
*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 heaxy
spattering or spillovers left on the cooktop can
ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily
grasped and remain cool.
* Keep all plastics away from the burners.
* Do not leave plastic items on the cooktol_-
tbey may melt if left too close to the vent.
, To avoid the possibility of a burn, aba_ys be
certain that tbe controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
,*When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if'operating, may spread
the flames.
,*Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect in the container tinder
the cooktop burners, tbe grille or the griddle.
Clean these areas after each use or boiloven
, For proper lighting and performance of the
burners, keep the burner ports clean. It may
be necessary to clean tbese when tbere is a
boilover or when the burner does not light,
even though the electronic ignitors click.
,*After deaning, it is important to make sure
the outer cap/burner port is properly aligned
with the burner base. Incorrect aligllment will
produce poor burner performance. Never
operate the burner without all burner parts
in place.
, Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam
burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean tbe cooktop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surihce. Follow manuihcturer's directions.
,*Do not use the grille for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote
flare-up.
'*DO NOT use cookware on the grille.
,*If cooktop is located near a window, do not
hang long curtains tbat could blow over tbe
burners and create a fire hazard.
,*Be sure all the controls are turned off and the
appliance is cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner or cooking spray on or around
the appliance. The chemical tbat produces the
spraying action could, in tbe presence of heat,
ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
