HaW plasticsare vulnerable to heat. Keep
plastics away from parts of the appliance
that may become warm or hot. Do not
leaveplastic items on the cod<top asthey
may melt or soften if [eft too dose to a
lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reachingover
hot surfaceburners, cabinetstorage should
not be provided directly above a unit. [f
storage is provided, it should be limited to
itemswhich areusedinfrequently andwhich
are safelystored in an area subjected to
heatfrom anappliance.Temperatures may
be unsafefor someitems, such asvolatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
Afaint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. [fa
gas odor isdetected, shut off the gas supply
to the cod<top. Call your installer or local
gas company to have the possible leak
checked. Never use a match or other
flame to locate a gas leak.
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to

flame,
Always adjust surface burner flame sothat
it does not extend beyond the bottom edge
of the pan.An excessiveflameis hazardous,
wastes energy and may damage the appli-
ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fatfrying.Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. Do not use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner. Pressure build-up may
cause container to burst resulting inserious
personal injury or damage m the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
hNders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtoweb or other substitutes sho@d
never be used aspothoHers becausethey

ignite or get caught on applianceparts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying con before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking greaseor other flam-
mable mater@saccumuhte in or nearthe
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequendy to preventgrease from accumu-
latingon hood or filter. When flamingfoods
under the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flam-
mable material or loose fitting or long-
sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing
may ignite or catch utensil handles.
NEVER cool< on broken coN<top. If
coN<top should break, cleaning solutions
and sp@oversmay penetrate the broken
coN<topandcreate a risk of electric shock.
Contact a qualifiedtechnician immediately.
Cleancooktop with caution. Some cleaners
canproduce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. Ifa wet sponge, cloth, or paper
towel is used on a hot cooking area, be
card@ to avoid steam burn.

The Cahfornia Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986(Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
niato publisha list of substancesknown to
the State of California to causecancer or
reproductive harm,andrequiresbusinesses
to warn customers of potenqa[ exposures
to suchsubstances.
Users of this applianceare hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances,including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petro-
leum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion. Ex-
posure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burners
to the outdoors.
