NEVER
cook on glass-ceramic cooking
surface if the cooktop is broken. Cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a shock
hazard. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
Clean glass-ceramic cooktops with
caution. If wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.

AFETY
Use proper pan size. Many appliances
are equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of cookware
to heating element will also improve
efficiency and performance.

Have the installer show you the location
of the gas shut off valve and how to shut
it off in an emergency.
A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak.
If a gas odor is detected, shut off gas
supply to the appliance. Call your installer
or local gas company to have the possible
leak checked.
Never use a match or
other flame to locate a gas leak.
WARNING:
If the
information in this manual is
not followed exactly, a fire or
explosion may result causing
property damage, personal
injury or death.
– Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or
any appliance.
– IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
Do not try to light any
appliance.
•
Do not touch any electrical
switch.
•
Do not use any phone in your
building.
•
Immediately call your gas
supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas
supplier, call the fire
department.
– Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified
installer, service agency or the
gas supplier.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that
it does not extend beyond the bottom

hazardous, wastes energy and may
damage the appliance, pan or cabinets
above the appliance.

The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause
cancer or reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to
the incomplete combustion of natural gas
or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly
adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these
substances can also be minimized by
properly venting the burners to the
outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS:
Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes
released during an oven self-cleaning
cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds.
Fumes released due to overheated
cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated
non-stick cookware may be equally
harmful.
