WARNINGS • Do not store or use gasoline, liquid propane cylinder or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. • Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell. • Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA. For more information, contact your gas supplier. • If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions on the previous page.
DANGER • Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the appliance or on the backsplash of the appliance.

DANGER • Use the proper pot/pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select pots/pans having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. The proper relationship of the utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency. • Do not use stove top grills on your gas appliance.
VENTILATION WARNINGS • The appliance should have proper ventilation in order to keep the unit operating properly and maintain the temperature of immediate surroundings within safe limits. Check your local building codes as they may vary from the general rules outlined in this guide. • If a range hood is installed above the appliance, maintain a minimum clearance of 30" between the cooking surface and the bottom of the range hood. The range hood must be connected directly to flues or to the outside.
