If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job
of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly
tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint
smell. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and
contact an authorized service provider to diagnose the is-
sue. Read the WARNING about gas smell.
WARNING
Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting perfor-
mance of the burners. It is necessary to clean these when
there is a boilover or when the burner does not light even
though the electronic igniters click.
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and
dry.
CAUTION
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on.
▶
Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in
use.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly positioned
on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use. Each of
the feet must be placed into the corresponding dimples in
the cooktop.
▶
Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or
damaged.
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual.
▶
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monox-
ide poisoning and overheating the appliance.
▶
Never use the appliance for storage.
WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small amounts
of carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde and soot. To
minimize exposure to these substances the burners
should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to en-
sure proper combustion.

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 cus-
tomers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil dur-
ing self-cleaning can generate some by-products which
are on the list. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the instructions con-
tained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.
1.8 Food safety
CAUTION
To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines
▶
DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food. It is
safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry
cereal and to warm plates.
▶
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or
warmer.
▶
DO NOT leave food in the warming drawer for more
than one hour before or after cooking.
▶
Plastic containers, plastic wrap or aluminum foil can
melt if in direct contact with the drawer or a hot cooking
container. If it melts onto the drawer, it may not be re-
movable.

WARNING
During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning, small
amounts of carbon monoxide can be created and the
fiberglass insulation could give off very small amounts of
formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles.
▶
To minimize exposure to these substances, provide
good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventila-
tion fan or hood.
