California Proposition 65 - Warning: Burning gas
cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the
list of substances which are known by the State of
California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. To
minimize exposure to these substances, always operate
this unit according to the instructions contained in this
booklet and provide good ventilation.
• During cooking, set the burner control so that
the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and
does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air
vents do not blow flammable material toward
the flames or push the flames so that they
extend beyond the edges of the pan,
• Always position handles of utensils inward so
they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burn-
ers, or the edge of the cooktop.
• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or
hanging sleeves should never be worn while cooking.
• In the event that personal clothing catches fire, DROP
AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.
• Never let clothing, potholders, or other flam-
mable materials come in contact with hot
burners or hot burner grates.
• Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils that are suitable for cooktop use.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied
to a hot surface.

foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in
contact with a hot burner or grate. Do
not allow pans to boil dry.
