IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 a
ventilation fan or hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using the component cooktop system,
basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
• Use this cooktop system only for its intended
use as described in this guide.
• If the cooktop is located near a window, do
not use long curtains, which could blow over
the gas burners or surface units, creating a
fire hazard.
• 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 and electric
appliance installers or service technicians.
• Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
• Have the installer show you the location of
the gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if
necessary.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part
of the component cooktop system unless it is
specifically recommended in this guide. Any
adjustment and service should be performed
only by qualified electric and gas range
installers or service technicians.
• BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE,
DISCONNECT THE COOKTOP SYSTEM
POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD
DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING
THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the cooktop system.
• Avoid installing cabinets above the cooktop
system.
• To reduce the hazard caused by reaching into
cabinets over hot surface units, the open
flames of operating burners and hot
cookware, install a metal ventilation hood
over the cooktop components that projects
forward at least 5 inches beyond the front of
the cabinets.
• If cabinets are placed above the cooktop
components, allow a minimum clearance
of 30 inches between the cooking surface and
the bottom of unprotected cabinets.
