9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is
in use.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper
job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not
perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and,
therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-
it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found
with the burner control in the ON position and this
must be done by a qualified service technician. See
Warning, page 1.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly
positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in
use. Each of the feet must be placed into the
corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a
grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.
Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even thought the electronic ignitors
click.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an
extra low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the
extra low burner automatically reignites the ignitor at
the burner will spark.
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance
for storage.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
Burn Prevention
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
WARNING
Risk of burns
Only close the appliance cover once the appliance
has cooled down. Never turn on the appliance with the
appliance cover closed. Don't set down food on
appliance cover or use it for keeping food warm.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil
is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
