Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance,
it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
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. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate some by-products
which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation.
WARNING
Burning gas cooking fuel may create small amounts of
carbon monoxide, benzene and formaldehyde. To
minimize exposure to these substances, the burners
should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to
ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with
an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when
cooking with gas. Always operate the appliance
according to the instructions in this manual.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from
steam.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of
the heating element or burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different sizes. Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of
the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and
burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does not extend
beyond the edge of the cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks.

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
