Important information for installation and usage

1 - For safety reasons, do not allow the flames to extend beyond the edge of the cooking appliance.

2 - Remember that the appliance heats up when in use. Remember to use common sense.The absence of a flame does not mean that the appliance parts are no longer hot.

3 - For safety reasons, this appliance should not be used for room heating purposes.

4 - Make sure the power supply is disconnected before dismantling the appliance.

5 - Do not store combustible materials, such as gasoline, other vapors and inflammable liquids near the appliance.

6 - Do not block the combustion or ventilation air flow.

•If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

•If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly light, 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, page. 3.

7 - Maintain a minimum distance of 762 mm (30") between the gas cooktop and cabinets installed in the upper part.

8 - The gas pressure regulator supplied with the appliance must be installed in the gas piping line.

9 - The appliance and its individual shutoff val- ve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of

3.5kPa (1/2 psig).The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 3.5 kPa (1/2 psig).

10 - Important:When using an especially large pan, leave a minimum space of 50 mm (2") to prevent damage to countertops of wooden, plastic or other non-heat resistant materials. Never leave hot oil or grease unattended.

11 - Make the caution about leaving oil or grease unattended.

•Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes 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.
