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
precautions will reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons. Use
extreme care when using this
restaurant caliber cooktop as
this appliance provides intense
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 installation
instructions provided with this
product. Have the cooktop in-
stalled and grounded by a quali-
fied 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, follow the in-
structions shown inside the front
cover.. If the connections are not
perfectly tight, you can have a
small leak and therefore a faint
gas smell. Finding a gas leak is
not a “do-it-yourself” procedure.
Some leaks can only be found
with the burner control in the ON
position and this must be done
by a qualified service technician.
See inside the front cover re-
garding gas leaks.
• In the event a burner goes out
and gas escapes, turn off the
burner and 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
technician.
• 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.
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 injured.
• 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 win-
dow, be certain the curtains do
not blow over or near the
cooktop 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 mate-
rials 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 holders. Do not let pot hold-
ers touch hot elements, hot
burners, or burner grates.
• For personal safety, wear
proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or hanging sleeves
should never be worn while us-
ing this appliance. Some syn-
thetic fabrics are highly flam-
mable and should not be worn
while cooking.
• Do not use aluminum foil as
a shield against food spills or
drippings around the burners or
control panel area. This could
obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air. This can dam-
age the finish of the cooktop.
The appliance is for cooking.
Based on safety considerations,
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 IMMEDIATE
SURROUNDING AREAS adja-
cent to the burners may become
hot enough to cause burns.
