9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

9WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A

GREASE FIRE:

1. 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.

2. Always turn hood ON when

cooking at high heat or when

flambeing food (i.e. Crepes

Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flambé).

3. Clean ventilating fans frequently.

Grease should not be allowed to

accumulate on fan or filter.

4. Use proper pan size. Always use

cookware appropriate for the size

of the surface element.

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.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

9WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY

TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A

GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE

FOLLOWING:

1. 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.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN

– You may be burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including

wet dishcloths or towels – a

violent steam explosion will result.

4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

– You know you have a Class ABC

extinguisher, and you already

know how to operate it.

– The fire is small and contained

in the area where it started.

– The fire department is being

called.

– 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.

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.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings

9WARNING

This product can expose you to

chemicals including vinyl chloride,

which is known to the State of

California to cause cancer and birth

defects or other reproductive harm.

For more information go to

www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

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.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

9WARNING

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-it-yourself” 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. See

Warning, ~"Gas Appliance Safety"

on page 4

9WARNING

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.

9WARNING

To prevent flare-ups do not use the

cooktop without all burner caps and

all burner grates properly

positioned.

9WARNING

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.

9WARNING

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.

9WARNING

NEVER cover any slots, holes or

passages in the oven bottom or

cover an entire rack with materials

such as aluminum foil. Doing so

blocks air flow through the oven and

may cause carbon monoxide

poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may

also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

9WARNING

Risk of burns!

Only close the appliance cover once

the appliance has cooled down.

Never turn on the appliance with the

appliance cover closed. Don't set

down food on appliance cover or use

it for keeping food warm.

Do not heat or warm unopened food

containers. Build-up of pressure may

cause the container to burst and cause

injury.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at

high heat or when flambeing food (i.e.

Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,

Peppercorn Beef Flambe).

Use high heat settings on the cooktop

only when necessary. To avoid bubbling

and splattering, heat oil slowly on no

more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is

capable of causing extreme burns and

injury.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a

deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before

beginning. Tie long hair so that it does

not hang loose, and do not wear loose

fitting clothing or hanging garments, such

as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling

sleeves.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use

the appliance, it is the responsibility of

the parents or legal guardians to ensure

that they are instructed in safe practices

by qualified persons.

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean,

sit, or hang on any part of an appliance,

especially a door, warming drawer, or

storage drawer. This can damage the

appliance, and the unit may tip over,

potentially causing severe injury.

Do not allow children to use this

appliance unless closely supervised by

an adult. Children and pets should not be

left alone or unattended in the area where

the appliance is in use. They should never

be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether

or not the appliance is in use.

9CAUTION

Items of interest to children should

not be stored in an appliance, in

cabinets above an appliance or on

the backsplash. Children climbing

on an appliance to reach items could

be seriously injured.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic

Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

California to publish a list of substances

known to the state to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm, and

requires businesses to warn customers of

potential exposure to such substances.

The burning of gas cooking fuel and the

elimination of soil during self-cleaning

can generate some by-products which are

on the list. To minimize exposure to these

substances, always operate this unit

according to the instructions contained in

this booklet and provide good ventilation.

9WARNING

The burning of gas cooking fuel can

create small amounts of Carbon

Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde

and Soot. To minimize exposure to

these substances the burners should

be adjusted by a certified installer or

agency to ensure proper

combustion. Ensure proper

ventilation with an open window or

use a ventilation fan or hood when

cooking with gas. Always operate the

unit according to the instructions in

this manual.

Do not block the oven vent(s) during the

self-cleaning cycle. Always operate the

unit according to the instructions in this

manual.

After a spill or boilover, turn off the

burner and allow the cooktop to cool.

Clean around the burner and burner

ports. After cleaning, check for proper

operation.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring

or turning food. This helps prevent spills

and movement of the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will

expose a portion of the heating element

or burner to direct contact and may result

in ignition of clothing. Select cookware

having flat bottoms large enough to cover

the surface heating unit. This appliance is

equipped with one or more surface units

of different size. Proper relationship of

cookware to heating element or burner

will also improve efficiency.

Always position handles of utensils

inward so they do not extend over

adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge

of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of

fires, spills and burns.

Adjust burner flame size so that it does

not extend beyond the edge of the

cookware. Proper relationship of

cookware to burner flame reduces safety

risks.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
