5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this
work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
• Remove all tape and packing materials before using the cooktop. Dispose of all plastic bags after
unpacking the cooktop. Never allow children to play with packing materials.
• Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property
damage. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency,
manufacturer (dealer) or your gas supplier.
• Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal
injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
• This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the
cooktop. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas
cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
• Ask the installer to show you the location of the cooktop gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if
necessary.
• Before servicing, disconnect the electrical supply.
Operation
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially hazardous substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the improper combustion of natural or
LP gas.
• Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a blue rather than a yellow flame, will minimize improper
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
• Do not place or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on this cooktop can result in serious injuries and cause damage to the
cooktop.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended where a cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be
seriously burned.
• Do not allow children to climb or play around the cooktop.
• Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can
reach them.
• Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a cooktop — children climbing on
the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not let anyone climb or stand on the cooktop. They could damage the cooktop or tip it over, causing
severe personal injury.
• NEVER use the cooktop as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop.
• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items placed in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought into contact
with flame or hot surfaces and may cause severe burns.
• Do not place flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
• Do not use water on grease fires. NEVER touch a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming
pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be
put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
• If the top burner flame goes out, gas is still flowing to the burner until the knob is turned to the OFF
position. Do not leave the burners ON unattended.
