IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10
Danger of electric shock.
If the cooktop is defective, immediately turn the appliance off and
discontinue use. Disconnect it from the electricity and gas supply.
Contact Technical Service.
If the cooktop is installed behind a cabinet (e.g., a door), do not
close the cabinet door while the cooktop is in operation. Heat and
moisture can build up behind the cabinet door when closed. This
can result in damage to the cooktop, housing unit, and floor. Leave
the cabinet door open until the cooktop has cooled down com-
pletely.
Reaching over a hot cooktop to access the cabinets can result in
burns. You can reduce the risk of burns by installing a ventilation
hood that extends at least 4
¾
" (12 cm) past the bottom of the cabi-
nets.
Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff
valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your apartment or home.
Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and
power supply to your cooktop.
