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) which 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.

■ For your safety, never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.
