What to Do
1. Begin by ensuring proper installation and
grounding of the appliance by a qualified
technician according to the accompanying
Installation Instructions. Have the installer
show you where the fuse or junction box is
located so that you know how and where
to turn off power. Also, have the installer
show you the location of the gas supply.
If you smell gas, do not use the cooktop.
Immediately turn off the gas supply at the
shut off valve, disconnect electrical power
to the unit at the fuse or junction box
and contact the gas supplier or qualified
appliance technician.
2. Ensure that the cooktop is used only by
those individuals who are able to operate it
properly.
3. Use the cooktop only for cooking tasks
expected of a home appliance as outlined
in this manual.
4. Properly clean and maintain as
recommended in this manual, cleaning only
the parts listed.
5. Use only dry potholders to avoid steam
burns when removing hot cookware.
6. In the event that a burner flame goes out
and gas escapes, open a window or door.
Wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to
use the cooktop.
7. Select utensils of the proper size, material
and construction for the particular type of
cooking being done. Select utensils that
are large enough to contain food without
boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with
easily grasped handles that will stay cool
while cooking. Do not use utensils with
loose handles. Avoid using pans that are
too heavy to lift safely. Use cookware only
for its intended purpose. Certain types of
glass, ceramic, and earthenware utensils
are suitable for use only in an oven and not
in cooktop applications.
8. When cooking, set the burner controls so
that the flame heats only the bottom of the
utensil and does not lick at the sides of the
utensil.
9. When deep fat frying, be certain that the
pan is large enough to contain the desired
volume of food without overflow caused by
bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat
fryer unattended. Avoid deep fat frying of
moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with
high water content may cause spattering or
spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat slowly and
stir together any combinations of oils and
fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep
What Not to Do
1. Do not use the cooktop for warming or
heating the room.
2. Do not leave children alone or unattended
in the area where the cooktop is in use.
Never allow children to sit or stand on any
part of the cooktop. Do not let children play
with the cooktop.
3. Do not store items of interest to children
above the cooktop. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on the
appliance.
4. Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while
using the cooktop.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically recommended
in literature accompanying this appliance.
All other service should be referred to a

steam explosion may result. Smother any
flames with a lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the
fat to temperatures above the flash point.
10. Always turn pan handles to the side or
back of the cooktop. Do not turn handles
towards the room where they are easily hit.
Handles should not extend over adjacent
burners.
11. Always check the positions of the control
knobs to make sure the cooktop is off when
you are finished cooking.
12. Before performing any service, turn off the
gas supply by closing the gas shut-off valve
and disconnect the electrical power supply.
13. Always light each burner prior to placing a
utensil on the burner grate. Also, turn the
control knob to the “off” position before
removing an utensil from the burner grate.
14. Always clean the cooktop cautiously. If
using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until
the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to
prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners
can produce harmful or unpleasant fumes if
applied to hot surfaces.
15. Keep any ventilation filters from any
adjacent or overhead vent hoods clean to
avoid grease fires.
16. Always set utensils gently onto the grates
and center them so that they are well-
balanced.
17. Always keep the cooktop surface clean and
dry.
