IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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-grounded3-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.

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

•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.

•Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

•Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids.

•Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance is in use.

•Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.

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

•Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.

•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.

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

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

•Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.

•Never leave surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

•Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
