Fire safety

• Save these instructions.

• Set the burner control so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

• Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, 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.

• 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 RISK OF A GREASE FIRE

• Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.

• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

• Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

• Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Important Safety Instructions

• GREASE IS FLAMMABLE: Allow hot grease to cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow deposits of grease to accumulate.

• DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES: Turn the appliance off and smother the fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or a foam-type extinguisher.

• 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.

• Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

• USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS: Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not allow potholders to touch hot surface burners. Do not use towels or other bulky cloth in place of potholders.

• Never allow garments, potholders or other flammable materials to come into direct or indirect contact with burners until they have completely cooled.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS OR THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE: During and after use, do not touch areas near burners until they have had sufficient time to cool. Do not allow garments or any flammable material to come into contact with hot surfaces. If personal clothing or hair catches on fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish

the flames.

• Do not leave the packing materials around the home. Sort the various items of waste and take them to the nearest specialized waste collection facility.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

• 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.

• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN –

You may be burned.

• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet

dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

• Use an extinguisher ONLY if: 1. You

know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it. 2. The fire is small and contained in the area where is started. 3. The Fire Dept. is being called. 4. You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

• Do not obstruct the vents or openings for air intake.

Important Safety Instructions

Gas safety

• To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block appliance air vents.

• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve is located.

• For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and dry.

• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning gas cooking fuel generates some by products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

• WARNING: All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on. Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in use.

• 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-ityourself” 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.

• WARNING: To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use. Each of the feet must be placed into the corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a grate if the rubber

feet are missing or damaged.

• Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters click.

• WARNING: To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

• WARNING: Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will spark.

• WARNING: Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

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.

• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
