SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
■
Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while
it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the
cleaner manufacturer.
■
Be sure all the cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner
on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat,
ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
■
Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not
accumulate on them.
■
Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The
blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.
■
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is
available.
■
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance never sit, stand, or lean on the cooking surface.
■
Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before
servicing this appliance.
WARNING:
California Proposition 65 - The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are known by the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit
according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking
with gas.
