Operational
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.
Do not store or use flammable materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of the cooktop, or any other appliance.
Do not operate the burner without all burner parts in place.
Always keep flammable wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.
For safety reasons the burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware.
Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. Cookware must
be matched to the size of the cast iron grate.

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.

For safety reasons, do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of the cooktop.
Maintenance
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate near the cooktop.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Unplug the cooktop from the electrical supply and turn off the gas supply at the shut-off valve
before servicing this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. DO not cut or
remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to the cooktop.
Environmental hazards
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.
