(Cautiously handle the heavy grates and griddles.)
• Make sure no parts came loose during shipping.
• Make sure the cooktop is correctly installed/adjusted by a qualified service technician
or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) you will use. For the cooktop to use LP
gas, the installer must replace the 5 surface burner orifices with the provided LP orifice
set, and reverse the GPR adapter. These adjustments must be made by a qualified
technician according to manufacturer instructions and local regulations. The qualified
agency performing this work shall be responsible for the gas conversion.
• Installation of this cooktop must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA.54, latest edition. In Canada,
installation must conform with the current Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code,

Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• Select cookware that is designed for cooktops and that is large enough to cover the
grates. Burner flames should not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
• Make sure all burners are off when not in use.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the cooktop.
• Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
• Before igniting, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and all burners are
level.
• Always use the LITE position to ignite a burner, then make sure the burner has ignited.
If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF, and wait a few minutes for the gas to dissipate.
• When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the flame
stays on.
• Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
• Foods should only be flamed under an active ventilation hood.
• Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
• Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
• Make sure all cooktop burners are off and all surfaces have completely cooled before
removing the grates and disassembling the burners.
• After cleaning the burner spreader, make sure it is completely dry before reassembling
it.
• To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water or other liquids into the
cooktop during cleaning.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not
use cookware that is substantially larger than the grate.
• Turn cookware handles to the side or rear of the cooktop and not over active burners
or the front edge of the cooktop.
• Stand at a safe distance while frying to avoid hot spatter.
• When frying, always heat the oil slowly, and monitor the oil as it heats. When frying
foods at high heat, monitor the oil throughout the cooking process. If combining fats or
oils for frying, mix them together before heating.
• Use a deep-fry thermometer when possible to avoid heating the oil beyond its smoke
point. (Know the smoke point of the oil you are using.)
• Always use a minimum amount of oil for any type of frying. Always thaw food before
frying, and do not frying food that is overly cold or that has clumps of ice attached to
it.

Important safety instructions
• Always let the oil/fat in the cookware to cool to room temperature before moving the
cookware.
• To avoid delayed-eruptive boiling, let hot oil/fat stand at least 20 seconds after turning
off the burner so the temperature can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these
first-aid instructions:
1. Immerse the scalded area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3. Cover the scalded area with a clean, dry cloth.
• During a power failure or if the ignition system malfunctions, do not use matches/
lighters to ignite the burners.
