WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1.
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out
immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
– You may be burned.
3.
DO NOT USE WATER, including
wet dishcloths or towels – a
violent steam explosion will result.
4.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
– You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
– The fire is small and contained
in the area where it started.
– The fire department is being
called.
– You can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the
ventilation system during a cooktop fire.
However, do not reach through fire to turn
it off.
Gas Safety
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do
not block appliance air vents.
Have the installer show you where the gas
shut-off valve is located.
For proper burner performance, keep
igniters clean and dry.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open windows and doors. Wait until gas
dissipates before using the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning
gas cooking fuel generates some by-
products which are on the list of
substances which are known by the State
of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure
to these substances, always operate this
unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide
good ventilation.

WARNING
All igniters spark when any single
burner is turned on. Do not touch
any of the burners when the cooktop
is in use.
If you smell gas, your installer has not
done a proper job of checking for leaks. If
the connections are not perfectly tight,
you can have a small leak and, therefore,
a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a
“do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks
can only be found with the burner control
in the ON position and this must be done
by a qualified service technician. See
