General Safety Precautions

Important Safety Instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your cooktop, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

WARNING

•If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

•Make sure that the cooktop has been properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer according to

the accompanying installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off valve and the power cord so that you know where and how to turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the cooktop.

•Do not install, repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically recommended in the literature accompanying it. A qualified service technician should perform all other service.

•Before performing any type of service, make sure that the gas supply is turned off and the power cord to the cooktop is disconnected.

•Only use this cooktop for cooking tasks expected of a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This cooktop is not intended for commercial use.

•DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.

•Make sure individuals who use the cooktop are able to operate it properly.

•Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or climb on any part of the cooktop. Doing so may cause damage, serious injury or death. Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area around the cooktop.

Do not allow children to play with the controls, pull on the handle or touch other parts of the cooktop.

•Do not store items of interest to children on top of or above the cooktop. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.

•Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating the cooktop, turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

•Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter any part of the cooktop unless specifically instructed to do so in these instructions.

•Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop if a burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.

•Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

WARNING

•Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for the first time.

•Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces or gas burners.

•Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the cooktop. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the cooktop and surrounding areas during and immediately after use.

•Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.

•Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the cooktop.

•If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.

•To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

•Clean and maintain the cooktop regularly as instructed in this manual. Keep the entire cooktop, ventilation filters and cooktop hoods free of grease that could catch fire.

•Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the manufacture’s recommendations before use to determine if a utensil is suitable for use on a cooktop. Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use on a cooktop. Personal injury

or damage may result from the improper use of cookware.

•Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper size, material and construction for the particular type of cooking being done. Utensils need to be large enough to contain the desired quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift safely.

•Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot cooktop. The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.

•Use only dry pot holders when removing food and cookware from the cooktop. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.

•Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.

•Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing them from the valve stems.
