IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop 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
cooktop installers or service technicians.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic
path and out of drafty locations to prevent
pilot outage and poor air circulation.
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.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving them
where children can reach them.
Be sure all packaging materials are
removed from the cooktop before
operating it to prevent fire or smoke
damage should the packaging material
ignite.
Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted
by a qualified service technician or installer.
This counter unit, as shipped from the
factory, can only be operated with natural
gas. Do not try to operate it with LP
(bottled) gas unless you follow the
Installation Instructions packed with your
cooktop. See LP Gas Adjustments.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a cooktop is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the cooktop.
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 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 by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
