IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly
adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off
if necessary.
 Have your cooktop installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment
and service should be performed only by
qualified gas cooktop installers or service
technicians.
 Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
 Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor
burner performance.
 Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded
outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.
If in doubt about the grounding of the home
electrical system, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet
replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong
outlet in accordance with the National Electrical
Code. Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.
 Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
 Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the cooktop before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
 Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) which is to be
used. Your cooktop can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
Instructions in the LP Conversion Kit.
WARNING :
These adjustments
must be made by a qualified service technician
in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in serious
injury or property damage. The qualified agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for
the conversion.
 Do not leave children alone or unattended where
a cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be
seriously burned.
 Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the cooktop.
 Do not operate or clean your cooktop if the glass
is broken or cracked. Cleaning solutions and
spillovers could penetrate the broken cooktop
and create a risk of electric shock. Call for service
immediately if the cooktop glass breaks or
cracks.
