SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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
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.
• When you get your cooktop, have the installer
show you the location of the gas shut-off valve
and how to shut it off if necessary.
• Have your cooktop installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the installation instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas range
installers or service technicians.
• Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt
about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly-grounded three-
prong outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the cooktop before operating it, to
prevent fire or smoke damage should the
packing material ignite.
• Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be
used. Your cooktop can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the installation
instructions in the LP Conversion Kit.
• 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.

WARNING—TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
A. Keep fan, filters and grease laden surfaces
clean.
B. Always turn vent ON when cooking at high
heat.
C. Use high settings on cooktop only when
necessary. Heat oil slowly on low to medium
setting.
D. Don’t leave the cooktop unattended when

E. Always use cookware and utensils
appropriate for the type and amount of food
being prepared.
CAUTION—FOR GENERAL
VENTILATING USE ONLY. DO NOT USE
TO EXHAUST HAZARDOUS OR
EXPLOSIVE MATERIALS AND VAPORS.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
• CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a cooktop—children climbing on the
cooktop to reach items could be seriously
injured.
• When raising or lowering the vent, keep
fingers away from all vent parts; assure that
cookware, pans and handles will not be struck
and tipped when raising the vent.
• Do not operate or clean your cooktop if the
glass is broken or cracked. Cleaning solutions
and spillovers could penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
Call for service immediately if the cooktop
glass breaks or cracks.
