RADIANT AND
HALOGEN ELEMENTS
NEVER cook on glass-ceramic cooking
surface if the cooktop is broken. Cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a shock haz-
ard. Contact a qualified technician imme-
diately.
Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with caution.
If wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills
on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleansers can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
UTENSIL SAFETY
Use proper pan size. Many appliances are
equipped with one or more surface units
of different size. Select cookware having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the sur-
face unit heating element. The use of un-
dersized cookware will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of cookware to heating ele-
ment will also improve efficiency and per-
formance.
GAS BURNERS
Have the installer show you the location of
the gas shut off valve and how to shut it off
in an emergency.
A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. If a
gas odor is detected, shut off gas supply to
the appliance. Call your installer or local
gas company to have the possible leak
checked. Never use a match or other
flame to locate a gas leak.
WARNING:
If the
information in this manual is
not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing
property damage, personal
injury or death.
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liq-
uids in the vicinity of this or any
appliance.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light any appli-
ance.
Do not touch any electrical
switch.
Do not use any phone in your
building.
Immediately call your gas
supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas sup-
plier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire depart-
ment.
Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified in-
staller, service agency or the gas
supplier.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that
it does not extend beyond the bottom edge
of the pan. An excessive flame is hazard-
ous, wastes energy and may damage the ap-
pliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE AND
WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
nia to publish a list of substances known to
the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures
to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petro-
leum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion. Ex-
posure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burners
to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes re-
leased due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cook-
ware may be equally harmful.

COOKING SAFETY
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When cook-
ing is completed, turn burner off before
removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
