Fire safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death:
• Do not store/place/use combustible materials (e.g., paper, plastic, pot holders, linens,
gasoline, alcohol) 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 material touch a heating element. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth item as a pot holder.
• Do not douse a grease fire with water. Instead, turn off the heat source, and smother
the fire with a tight-fitting lid, or use a multi-purpose, dry-chemical or foam
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 risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death observe these precautions:
Checking for gas leaks
Leak-test the cooktop per the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use a flame to check
for gas leaks. Use a brush to spread a soap-and-water solution around the area you are
checking. If there is a gas leak, small bubbles will appear in the solution.
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 appliances.
• Do not touch an electrical switch or plug in a power cord.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Evacuate the building.
• From a neighbor's phone, immediately call your gas supplier, and follow their
directions. (If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.)
