General safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• Do not touch any surface, component,
or mechanism of the cooktop during or
immediately after cooking.
• Learn where and how to shut off the
valve that feeds gas to the cooktop.
• Make sure the cooktop's hold-down brackets are properly installed. (See the Installation
Instructions for details.)
• Do not let children sit/stand on the cooktop or play with any of its parts. Do not leave
children unattended in the kitchen when the cooktop is in use.
• Remove all packaging before operating the cooktop to keep this material from catching
fire. Keep all packaging away from children. Properly dispose of packaging as soon as
the cooktop is unpacked.
• Do not keep objects of interest to children on or around the cooktop.
• Do not operate the cooktop if it is damaged in any way, if it malfunctions, or is missing
parts.
• Do not use the cooktop as a space heater. This cooktop is to be used for cooking
purposes only.
• Use only dry pot holders.
• Do not use the cooktop to heat sealed food containers.
• Unplug the cooktop before service/maintenance.
• An air curtain or other overhead range hood, which operates by blowing a downward
airflow onto a range, shall not be used in conjunction with a gas range unless the
hood and range have been designed and tested in accordance with the Standard
for Domestic Gas Ranges, ANSI Z21.1 • CSA1.1, and listed by an independent testing
laboratory for combination use.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

Electrical and grounding safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the ground prong.
• Do not use an adapter or an extension
cord.
• Do not use a damaged power plug,
power cord, or loose power outlet.
• Do not modify the power plug, cord, or
outlet.
• Do not put a fuse in a neutral or ground circuit.
• Use a dedicated 120-volt, 60-Hz, 15-amp, AC, fused electrical circuit for this cooktop.
A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Do not plug more than one
appliance into this circuit.
• Do not connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot water pipes.
• This cooktop must be grounded. If the cooktop malfunctions or breaks down, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a safe path for the current. This
cooktop's power cord has a grounding plug, which must be firmly plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded according to local regulations. If you
are not sure your electrical outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a licensed
electrician.
• If codes allow for a separate ground wire, you should have a qualified electrician
determine this wire's proper path.
• Electrical service to the cooktop must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, to the National Electrical code/NFPA No. 70 – Latest Revision (for the U.S.) or the
Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1 or Latest Revisions.
• The cooktop owner shall ensure that the proper electrical service is provided for the
cooktop.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• The cooktop should be installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer, as
specified in the Installation Instructions. Adjustments and service should be performed
only by qualified gas cooktop installer or service technician.

(Cautiously handle the heavy grates.)
• 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 every 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,
CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the current Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, and with
local codes where applicable. This cooktop has been design-certified by ETL according
to ANSI Z21.1, latest edition, and Canadian Gas Association according to CAN/CGA-1.1,

Location safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• This cooktop is for indoor household
use only. Do not install the cooktop
outdoors or anywhere that it will be
exposed to weather/water or wind/
strong drafts.
• The cooktop must be installed within easy reach of a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• Do not hang paper blinds on a window near the cooktop; do not hand long curtains that
could be blown over/onto the cooktop.
• For proper ventilation, the cooktop needs sufficient space below and all around the
chassis. Vents in the chassis exhaust heat and fumes so the cooktop can operate
properly.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the cooktop can withstand heat up to 194 °F
(90 °C) generated by the cooktop.
• Do not store items above the cooktop. If cabinet storage above the cooktop is
necessary, allow a minimum clearance of 30 in. (76.2 cm) between the cooking surface
and the bottom of the cabinets.

Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
precautions:
• 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.
• 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 head, 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.
• 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.
• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not
use cookware that is exceedingly 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.)

Safety and warning information
• 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.
• 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 scaled 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.
