IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using the component cooktop system, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this cooktop system only for its intended use as described in this guide.

If the cooktop is located near a window, do not use long curtains, which could blow over the gas burners or surface units, creating a fire hazard.

Have your cooktop installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas and electric appliance installers or service technicians.

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

Have the installer show you the location of the gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the component cooktop system unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified electric and gas range installers or service technicians.

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE, DISCONNECT THE COOKTOP SYSTEM POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

Do not leave children alone—children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop system.

Avoid installing cabinets above the cooktop system.

To reduce the hazard caused by reaching into cabinets over hot surface units, the open flames of operating burners and hot cookware, install a metal ventilation hood over the cooktop components that projects forward at least 5 inches beyond the front of the cabinets.

If cabinets are placed above the cooktop components, allow a minimum clearance

of 30 inches between the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
