Important Safety Instructions
8
Gas safety
• To prevent carbon monoxide build-up,
do not block appliance air vents.
• Have the installer show you where the
gas shut-off valve is located.
• For proper burner performance, keep
igniters clean and dry.
• If a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open windows and doors. Wait until gas
dissipates before using the appliance.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning
gas cooking fuel generates some by
products which are on the list of
substances which are known by the
State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. To minimize
exposure to these substances, always
operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this booklet and
provide good ventilation.
• WARNING: All igniters spark when any
single burner is turned on. Do not touch
any of the burners when the cooktop is in
use.
• 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.
• Finding a gas leak is not a “do-it-
yourself” procedure. Some leaks can
only be found with the burner control in
the ON position and this must be done
by a qualified service technician.
• 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.
• Keep the igniter ports clean for proper
lighting performance 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.
• WARNING: To prevent flare-ups do not
use the cooktop without all burner caps
and all burner grates properly
positioned.
• WARNING: Do not clean or touch any
of the burners when an extra low burner
(if equipped) is in use. When the extra
low burner automatically reignites the
ignitor at the burner will spark.
• WARNING: 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 monoxide
poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for
storage.
Burn prevention
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS
OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units
may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface units may
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
• Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
