SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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

Safety Instructions Operating

■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.

■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.

■If cooktop is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

■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 grates 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.

■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.

■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 LP conversion instructions packed with your cooktop. Model JGP319 is factory adjusted for LP gas operation.

■WARNING: This conversion kit must be installed by a qualified service technician in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.

■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 oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.	3
