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 the ventilation fan.

When you get your cooktop, have the installer show you the location of the gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

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 range installers or service technicians.

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.

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

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 in the LP Conversion Kit.

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

WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

A. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

B. Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel.

C. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling do not damage electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

D. Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.

E. To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.

WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:

A. Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces clean.

B. Always turn vent ON when cooking at high heat.

C. Use high settings on cooktop only when necessary. Heat oil slowly on low to medium setting.

D. Don’t leave the cooktop unattended when cooking.

E. Always use cookware and utensils appropriate for the type and amount of food being prepared.

CAUTION—FOR GENERAL VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.

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

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.

When raising or lowering the vent, keep fingers away from all vent parts; assure that cookware, pans and handles will not be struck and tipped when raising the vent.

Do not operate or clean your cooktop if the glass is broken or cracked. Cleaning solutions and spillovers could penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Call for service immediately if the cooktop glass breaks or cracks.
