SAFETY & WARNINGS
FIRE SAFETY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the
following precautions.
• Do not store, place, or use flammable or combustible materials such as paper, plastic, pot
holders, linens curtains, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids near the cooktop.
• Do not wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the cooktop.
• To avoid grease buildup, regularly clean the vents.
• Do not let pot holders or other flammable materials touch a heating element. Do not use a
towel or other bulky items made out of cloth in place of a pot holder.
• Do not use water on a grease fire. To put out a grease fire, turn off the heat source and
smother the fire with a tight-fitting lid or use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. The buildup of pressure may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
• Always check if the burners are combusting normally.
• Overheating may cause a fire, and incomplete combustion may cause carbon-monoxide
poisoning.
GAS SAFETY
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the
following precautions.
Checking for gas leaks
Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer's
instructions. Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Use a brush to spread a soapy water
mixture around the area you are checking. If there is a gas leak, you will see small bubbles
in the soapy water mixture at the leak point.
If you smell gas:
• Close the valve and do not use the cooktop.
• Do not light a match, candle, or cigarette.
• Do not turn on any gas or electric appliances.
• Do not touch any electrical switches or plug a power cord into an outlet.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Evacuate the room, building, or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
