Important Safety Instructions
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Gas cooktops have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with
any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed
to ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
To
reduce the risk of fire,
electrical
shock,
injury to
persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow
basic
precautions,
including the following:
WARNING: If the Information in this manual is not followed exactly,
a fire or explosion could result causing property damage, personal
injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
l
Do not try to light any appliance.
l
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in
your building.
l
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone.
Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
l
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
General
l
Install or locate the cooktop only in
accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. The cooktop must be
installed by a qualified installer. The
cooktop must be properly connected to
the proper gas supply and checked for
leaks. The cooktop must also be
properly connected to electrical supply
and grounded.
l
Gas fuels and their use in appliances
could cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot
primarily from incomplete combustion.
Significant exposure to these substances
could cause cancer or reproductive harm.
Properly adjusted burners with a blue,
rather than a yellow, flame will minimize
incomplete combustion. Venting with a
hood or an open window will further
minimize exposure.

l
Do not store things children might want
above the cook-top. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on it.
l
Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the 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.
l
Do not operate the cooktop if it is damaged or not working properly.
l
Do not use the cooktop for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l
Use the cook-top only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l
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.
\
#iis
l
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the cook-top. They could
ignite if they touch an open flame and
you could be burned.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could
catch on fire.
l
Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the cook-top. The fumes could
create an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner well area. Use aluminum foil only
as recommended in this manual.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l
Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.

When using the cooktop
l
Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a cook-top could
ignite and bum you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the cook-top. 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.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boilover
could result and cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that could ignite.
l
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.
l
Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
Grease
l
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
l
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan by covering with 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.
Care and cleaning
l
Do not repair or replace any part of the
cook-top unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a
qualified technician.
l
Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to
satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by an authorized
Whirlpool service technician or Qualified Agency.
l
Disconnect the electrical supply
and the gas supply at the shutoff valve
near the cooktop before servicing the
cooktop.
