BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn
hazard. Combustible items may ignite,
metallic items may become hot and
cause burns. If a cabinet storage is to be
provided the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
CHEMICAL HAZARD
If not installed, operated and
maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s
instructions, this product could expose
you to substances in fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or
serious illness and which are known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
Before placing the cooktop into operation,
always check for gas leaks with a soapy
water solution or other acceptable method.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
This appliance shall not be used for
space heating. This information is based
on safety considerations.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
The cooktop must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of codes, with the ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-latest edition. Installation should
be made by a licensed electrician. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for your protection against
shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding prong from the plug.
For personal safety, this appliance
must be properly grounded. DO NOT
under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from
the power plug.
SITE PREPARATION
It is recommended that a thorough site
inspection be conducted PRIOR to
unpacking and moving this appliance.
For example, benzene is a chemical
which is part of the gas supplied to the
cooking product. It is consumed in the
flame during combustion. However
exposure to a small amount of benzene
is possible if a gas leak occurs.
Formaldehyde and soot are byproducts
of incomplete combustion. Properly
adjusted burners with a bluish rather
than yellow flame will minimize
incomplete combustion.
