IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Installation of this cooktop must conform with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—latest edition, or with the
Canadian Fuel Gas Code, CAN/CGA B149 and CAN/CGA
B149.2.
This cooktop has been design certified by the American
Gas Association. As with any appliance using gas and
generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you
should follow. You will find them in the Owner's Guide,
read it carefully.
•
Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.
•
This cooktop must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70—latest edition, or with the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1.
•
The burners can be lit manually during an
electrical power outage. To light a burner, hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the
Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when
lighting burners manually.
•
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the cooktop.
Children could be
seriously burned climbing on the cooktop to reach
items.
•
To eliminate the need to reach over the surface
burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.
•
Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
•
Never use your cooktop for warming or heating
the room.
Prolonged use of the cooktop without
adequate ventilation can be hazardous.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance.
Explosions or fires could result.
The electrical power to the cooktop
must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury
or death.
This cooktop is not approved for use
with downdraft systems.
Before Installing the Cooktop
(Gas on Glass Models Only)
A roll of foam tape is supplied in the literature package.
Install the foam tape around the perimeter of the flange
of the burner box, at a distance of 1/4" from the edge of
the glass. Apply the exposed adhesive side of the tape
against the underside of the glass surface (see Figure 2).
Remove the protective film from the underside of the
foam tape before inserting the cooktop into the
countertop opening.
NOTE:
This tape seals the underside of the cooktop to
the counter.
Do not remove this foam tape.
This tape
prevents entry of air for normal gas combustion, and
prevents liquids from leaking under the cooktop.
After inserting the cooktop into the countertop opening,
make sure the unit is sitting on the metal flange around
the top of the burner box.
The cooktop must not sit
on the glass top.
Avoid cutting an oversized hole in the
countertop to prevent glass top from sitting on the
countertop.
