Important Safety Instructions
▲warning
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:
■ FOR YOUR SAFETY ■
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.
■ IMPORTANT ■
TO THE INSTALLER: PLEASE LEAVE THIS INSTRUCTION BOOK WITH THE UNIT.
TO THE CONSUMER: PLEASE READ AND KEEP THIS BOOK FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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
cornbustion. Properly adjusted
burners with a bluish rather than a
yellow flame wül minimize
incomplete combustion.
3. 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.
10. 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 weUfitted 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 spiU-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
injury.
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.

Using the surface burners
Your cooktop is equipped with either
standing pilots or electronic ignitors.
Standing pilots must be lit initially with a
match following the directions on page 4.
The pilot light will remain lit when the
burners are turned off. To turn a burner
on again, just push in and turn the
control knob to LITE and the burner will
light. Electronic ignitors automatically
light the burners each time the control
knob is turned to LITE.
Control knobs must be pushed in, then
turned to the LITE position. On
electronic ignitor models, the clicking
sound is the ignitor sparking.
After the burner lights, turn the control
knob back to a desired setting. The
control knob can be set anywhere
between HI and low setting. Do not
cook with the control in the LITE
position.

Bum And Fire Hazard
■ Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. The flame can burn you
and cause poor cooking results.
■ Be sure all control knobs are
turned to OFF and all power ON
lights are off when you are not
cooking. Someone could be
burned or a fire could start if a
burner is accidentally left on.
Until you get used to the settings, use
the following as a guide. For best
results, start cooking at the high
settings, then turn the control knob
down to continue cooking.
