General Safety Precautions
To promote household safety when using the cooktop, follow basic safety precautions, including these precautions:
WARNING
• Read the cooktop use and care manual completely before operating this appliance.
• Keep packaging materials away from children. (Plastic sheets/bags are suffocation hazards.)
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer/builder. Do not install/use a damaged appliance.
• This cooktop must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer per these instructions before use. The installer
should show the customer the gas shut-off valve and power cord so they know where/how to turn off the gas supply and discon-
nect power to the cooktop.
• Do not install/repair/replace any cooktop component unless specifically recommended in the accompanying literature. A quali-
fied technician should perform all other service.
• Before service/installation, turn off the gas supply at the gas-supply valve and unplug the power cord.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning. (For cleaning instructions, see the User Manual.)
• Use the cooktop for cooking tasks consistent with a home appliance per the accompanying literature. (The cooktop is for home
use only.)
• DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKTOP SURFACE DURING/IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE.
• Do not operate the cooktop if its power cord is damaged.
• Turn OFF the knobs before removing them from the valve stems.
• Clean the cooktop fully before operating it the first time; verify that all cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.
• Do not hang flammable or heat-sensitive objects above the cooktop.
• Do not climb/stand/kneel on the appliance.
• Do not leave the cooktop unattended while in use.
• Do not leave children unattended near the cooktop or let children play with/climb on the cooktop; do not store items of interest
to children on/above the cooktop.

gas burners.

ing and immediately after use.

• When heated, non-stick coatings can harm birds. When using non-stick cookware, move pet birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room.
The cooktop has a three-prong grounding plug to prevent possible electric shock. Plug it in a dedicated, grounded three-prong
outlet. (The customer shall ensure the proper outlet is installed.)
• DO NOT cut/remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug or extension cord.
• DO NOT use a frayed/damaged power cord.
