IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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
When using your appliance, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
•Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop gas
•Be sure all packing materials are removed from the cooktop before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.
•Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic path and out of drafty locations and areas with poor air circulation.
•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.
•Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used.
WARNING: These adjustments must be made 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.
•Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this guide.
•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
