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.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Have the installer show you the location of the cooktop gas shutoff valve and how to shut it off
if necessary.
■ Have your cooktop installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in accordance
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment
and service should be performed only by
qualified gas cooktop installers or service
technicians.
■ Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used.
Your cooktop can be converted for use with either
type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.
Your model is factory adjusted for use with
natural gas.
■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
■ Locate the cooktop out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations to prevent poor burner
performance.
■ Plug your cooktop into a 120-volt grounded outlet
only. Do not remove the round grounding prong
from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of
the home electrical system, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly
grounded, three-prong outlet in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. Do not use
an extension cord with this appliance.
■ Let the burner grate and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
■ Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the cooktop before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packaging
material ignite.
■ Be sure your cooktop is correctly adjusted by
a qualified service technician or installer.
■ Do not leave children alone or unattended where
a cooktop is hot or in operation. They could be
seriously burned.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the cooktop.
■ CAUTION: 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.
■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your cooktop.
■ Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your cooktop.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot surfaces and
may cause severe burns.
■ Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the cooktop.
