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 by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions

■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 cooktop installers or service technicians.

■Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be used. Your cooktop can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions. Your model is factory adjusted for use with natural gas.

■Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your cooktop unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other service should be referred to a qualified technician.

■Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations to prevent poor burner performance.

■Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

■Let the burner grate and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

■Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the cooktop before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

■Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer.

■Do not leave children alone or unattended where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.

■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the cooktop.

■CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop—children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.

■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your cooktop.

■Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and may cause severe burns.

■Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the cooktop.

■For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
