IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
,
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
Warning, page 1.
,
WARNING:
To prevent flare-ups all grates must
be properly positioned on the cooktop
whenever the cooktop is in use. Each of the feet
must be placed into the corresponding dimples
in the cooktop. Do not use a grate if the rubber
feet are missing or damaged.
Keep the ignitor ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner
does not light even thought the electronic ignitors
click.
,
WARNING:
To prevent flare-ups do not use the
cooktop without all burner caps and all burner
grates properly positioned.
,
WARNING:
Do not clean or touch any of the
burners when an extra low burner (if equipped)
is in use. When the extra low burner
automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner
will spark.
,
WARNING:
Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this manual.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.
,
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire
rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact surface units or areas
near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing
the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-
up of pressure may cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil
is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

Child Safety

appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
safe practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang
on any part of an appliance, especially a door,
warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially
causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets
should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the
