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 shutoff 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.
„ Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by a qualified
service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or
LP) that is to be used. Your cooktop can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions. Your
model is factory adjusted for use with natural gas.
„ 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 grate 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.
„ 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.

of the cooktop.
