Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions,

’ FOR YOUR SAFETY H

DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN

THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE

HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

l.OPEN WINDOWS.

2.DON’T TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES.

3.EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES.

4.IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER. fl IMPORTANT .

TO THE INSTALLER: PLEASE LEAVE THIS INSTRUCTION BOOK WITH THE UNIT.

TO THE CONSUMER: PLEASE READ AND KEEP THIS BOOK FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

including the following:

1. Install or locate the cooktop only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the cooktop be installed by a qualified installer. The cooktop must be properly connected to the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. If needed, the cooktop must also be properly connected and grounded to electrical supply.

2. Gas fuels and combustion can result in potential exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For example, benzene is a chemical which is a part of the gas supplied to the cooktop. 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 by-products of incomplete combustion. Properly adjusted burners with a bluish rather than a yellow flame will minimize incomplete combustion.

DO NOT use the cooktop for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured or a fire could start.

4. DO NOT leave children alone in area where cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop. They could be burned or injured.

5. DO NOT wear loose or hanging garments when using the cooktop. They could ignite if they touch a burner and you could be burned.

6. DO NOT repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically

recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

7. DO NOT operate this cooktop if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

8. Know where your main gas shut off valve is located.

9. Clean your cooktop regularly. See care and cleaning instructions in this manual.

lO.Use this cooktop only for its intended

use as described in this manual.

11 .DO NOT store flammable materials on

or near the cooktop. They could explode or burn.

12.DO NOT use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother

flaming pan by covering wih a wellfitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

13.Use only dry potholders. Moist or

damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. DO NOT use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.

14.Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boil-overs and spill-overs. This will help prevent hazardous build-ups of food. Heavy splattering or spill-overs left on a cooktop can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.

15.DO NOT leave surface burners on high heat settings. Boil-overs and greasy spill-overs could cause steam and smoke, and could ignite and burn you.

. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ’

16,GREASE is flammable and should be

handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow grease to collect around cooktop. Wipe spill-overs immediately.

17.Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the cooktop. Only certain types of glass, glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

18.Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface burners. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of the pan.

19.DO NOT heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause mlury.

20.DO NOT use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.

21 .DO NOT store things children might

want above the cooktop. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

22.DO NOT touch surface burners or areas near surface burners. Areas near surface burners become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface burners or areas near surface burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.

23.NEVER use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.

24.Make sure surface burners are off when you are finished, and when your aren’t watching.
