Explosion Hazard
Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near this
appliance.
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
* When the cooktop is cool, remove all spills and clean. Food spills containing acids, such
as vinegar and tomato, may affect the finish. Because of direct exposure to high
temperatures, the grates will gradually lose their shiny appearance. This is normal.
