IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•At least once a year, the unit should be inspected for the presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects. The burner area is a common and desired spider haven and can present a dangerous condition which can damage the range top burners and render them unsafe for use. The presence of spiders, spider webs or other insects can cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel. Check the range top burners immediately if any of the following conditions exist:

1.The smell of gas in conjunction with extreme yellow tipping of the burner flames.

2.The burners do not reach temperature.

3.The burners heat unevenly.

4.The burners make popping noises.

•Should a burner go out during use, turn the control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the burner. Always follow the lighting instructions.

•Never lean over a lit burner.

•Never cook without the drip tray in place and pushed all the way to the rear of the burner box.

•Do not operate the range top burners under combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in garages, breezeways, sheds or other such enclosed areas.

•If the range top burners have not been used for an extended period of time (over winter, for example) the unit should be checked for gas leaks and obstructions in the burner.

•Do not attempt to disconnect any gas connections while your burners are in use or the gas supply is on.

•When the range top burners are stored indoors the gas supply must be disconnected and, if using an LP gas cylinder, the cylinder must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area.

•When the range top burners are stored outdoors ensure that they are kept in a well ventilated area.

•Keep any electrical supply cord away from the heated surface of the range top burners.

•On cart-mounted units never move without first allowing the range top burners and/or grill to cool and ensuring that the gas supply is turned off. Fold the side shelf down and push, never pull, the appliance.

•Never use the range top burners in a windy area.

•Only use with the type of gas specified on the rating plate. To change from LP gas from natural, or vice versa, a factory conversion kit is required.

•LP units are supplied with an LP tank equipped with a type 1 connector and an over-fill protection device. If you use a tank exchange system, be sure to exchange this tank for a similarly equipped tank.
