Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, CONT.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturerÕs instructions when using glass.

This appliance has been tested for safe perfor- mance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units or stovetop grills. The use of devices or accesso- ries that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn cus- tomers of potential exposures to such sub- stances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will minimize in- complete combustion. Exposure to these sub- stances can also be minimized by properly venting the burners to the outdoors.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive res- piratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to over- heated cooking oil, fat, margarine and over- heated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Electrical Connection

Appliances which require electrical power are equipped with a t h r e e - p r o n g

grounding plug which must be

plugged directly into a properly grounded three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.

Always disconnect power to appliance be- fore servicing.

The three-prong grounding plug offers pro- tection against shock hazards. DO NOT

CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD GROUND- ING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.

If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility of the appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a properly grounded three-hole electrical outlet.
