PROFESSIONAL
®
Cooktop has
been designed to be a safe, reliable
appliance when properly used and
cared for. If not properly used, it
could be dangerous. Read all
instructions in this Care and Use
Manual carefully before using this
cooktop.
WARNING: These pre-
cautions will reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons. Use ex-
treme care when using this
restaurant caliber cooktop as
this appliance provides in-
tense heat and can increase
the accident potential.
• When using kitchen appli-
ances, these basic safety pre-
cautions must be followed:
• Insure proper installation
and servicing. Follow the instal-
lation instructions provided with
this product. Have the cooktop in-
stalled and grounded by a qualified
technician.
• Have the installer show you
where the gas supply shut-off
valve is located so that you know
how and where to turn off the gas
to the cooktop.
• If you smell gas, your installer
has not done a proper job of
checking for leaks. If the connec-
tions are not perfectly tight, you
can have a small leak and there-
fore a faint gas smell. Finding a gas
leak is not a “do-it-yourself” pro-
cedure. Some leaks can only be
found with the burner control in
the ON position and this must be
done by a qualified service techni-
cian. See inside the front cover re-
garding gas leaks.
• In the event a burner goes out
and gas escapes, open a window
or a door. Do not attempt to use
the cooktop until the gas has had
time to dissipate. Wait at least 5
minutes before using the
Cooktop.
• Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this
manual.
All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified techni-
cian.
• Children should not be left
alone or unattended in an
area where appliances are in
use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
CAUTION: Do not store
items of interest to children
above the cooktop or at the
back of it. If children should climb
onto the appliance to reach these
items, they could be seriously in-
jured.
• Never use any part of the
cooktop for storage. Flam-
mable materials can catch fire
and plastic items may melt or
ignite.
• If the cooktop is near a window,
be certain the curtains do not
blow over or near the cook-
top burners; they could catch on
fire.
• DO NOT USE WATER ON
GREASE FIRES. Turn appliance
off and smother fire with baking
soda or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
• Never let clothing,
pot hold-
ers, or other flammable ma-
terials come in contact with
or too close to any element,
burner or burner grate until it
has cooled. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
• Use only dry pot holders.
Moist or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from
steam. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth in place of pot hold-
ers. Do not let pot holders touch
hot elements, hot burners, or
burner grates.
• For personal safety, wear
proper apparel. Loose fitting gar-
ments or hanging sleeves should
never be worn while using this ap-
pliance. Some synthetic fabrics are
highly flammable and should not be
worn while cooking.
• Do not use aluminum foil as
a shield against food spills or drip-
pings around the burners or con-
trol panel area. This could obstruct
the flow of combustion and venti-
lation air. This can damage the fin-
ish of the cooktop.
Warning:
The appliance is
for cooking. Based on safety con-
siderations, never use the cooktop
to warm or heat a room. Such use
can damage the cooktop.
• When using the cooktop: DO
NOT TOUCH THE BURNER
GRATES OR THE IMMEDI-
ATE SURROUNDING AR-
EAS adjacent to the burners may
become hot enough to cause
burns.
