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 by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
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 poor
burner performance.
■ 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
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.
WARNING: These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
■ 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.
■ 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.
