Important safety instructions!

Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the installation instructions.

Ensure that a manual gas shut-off valve is installed in a location accessible after installation. Be sure to have the installer show you how to turn off the gas and electrical supply.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this user guide.

This appliance cannot be used in the event of a power failure. Do not attempt to operate the appliance during power failure.

Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

Turn the pot handles to the side or the back of the appliance away from the reach of children. Handles should not be positioned over adjacent burners.

Always check that you have turned the burners off when you have finished cooking. Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Before using the appliance, ensure that all burners have been assembled correctly. Do not operate a burner without all burner parts in place.

Always keep flammable wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your appliance. For safety reasons, the burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes. Cookware must be matched to the size of the burner. Select utensils with flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner flames. The use of undersize utensils will expose a portion of the burner flames to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

We recommend raising the pan supports first then placing the pan on them (the pan supports are not primarily designed for lifting pans).

Do not stand on this gas appliance.

For safety reasons, do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the appliance - children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

When deep-frying in fat, be sure the pan is large enough not to cause an overflow from bubbling of the fat. Do not deep-fry foods with a high moisture content or food covered with frost.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate near the appliance.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this user guide. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Glazed cooking utensils - only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
