Safety and warning information
General safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
•Do not touch any part 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 pg. 26.)
•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. 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 install the cooktop if it is damaged, malfunctions, or is missing parts.
•Use only dry pot holders.
•Do not use the cooktop to heat sealed food containers.

Fire safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
• Do not store/place/use combustible
material (e.g., paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, alcohol) near the cooktop.
• Do not wear loose fitting or hanging
clothing while using the cooktop.
• Do not let flammable material touch a
heating element. Do not use a towel or
othe r bulky cloth as a pot holder.
•Regularly clean the vents to remove grease buildup.
•Do not douse a grease fire with water, but turn off the burner, and smother the fire
with a tight-fitting lid, or use a multi-purpose, dry-chemical or foam extinguisher.
•Do not heat sealed food containers; pressure may burst container and cause injury.
Gas safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
If you smell gas:
•Close the valve and do not use the cooktop.
•Do not light a match, candle, or cigarette.
•Do not turn on any gas or electric appliances.
•Do not touch an electrical switch or plug in a power cord.
•Do not use any phone in your building.
•Evacuate the building.
•From a neighbor's phone, immediately call the gas supplier, and follow their
directions. (If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.)
Checking for gas leaks
Leak-testing the cooktop must be done per manufacturer directions. Do not use a flame
to check for gas leaks. Use a brush to spread a soap-and-water solution around the test
area. If there is a gas leak, small bubbles will appear in the solution.

Electrical and grounding safety
WARNING
To reduce 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 extension cord.
•Do not use a damaged power plug, cord,
or loose power outlet.
•Do not modify the 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. A time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended. Plug only the cooktop into this circuit.
• Do not con nect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines, or hot-water pipes.
•This cooktop must be grounded. In case of malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides the current a safe path.
• If unsure your electrical outlet is properly grounded, have a licensed electrician check it.
•If codes allow a separate ground wire, have a qualified electrician determine its 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 owner shall ensure the cooktop is provided proper electrical service.
Location safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
•The cooktop is for indoor household use only. Do not install the cooktop outside or
anywhere that it will be exposed to weather, water, wind, or strong drafts.
•On windows near the cooktop, do not hang paper blinds or long curtains that could be
blown over the cooktop.
•The cooktop must be installed within easy reach of a grounded, 3-prong outlet.
• For proper ventilation, the cooktop needs sufficient space below, all around the chassis.
Vents in the chassis exhaust heat and fumes so the cooktop can operate properly.
• Wall coverings around the cooktop must be able to withstand heat up to 194 °F (90 °C).
•Do not store items above the cooktop. If cabinet storage above the cooktop is needed,
allow at least 30 in. (76.2 cm) between the cooking surface and the cabinet bottom.

Installation safety
WARNING
To reduce 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 this manual. Adjustments and service should be performed only by
qualified installer or service technician.
•Do not service/modify/replace the cooktop or any part of it unless directed in this

•Remove all tape and packaging materials.
•After unpacking the cooktop, remove all accessories from inside and around it.
(Cautiously handle the heavy grates.)
•Verify that nothing came loose during shipping.
•Ensure 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, a qualified installer/technician must replace every burner orifice with the
provided LP orifice set, and reverse the GPR adapter. The qualified agency performing
this work shall be responsible for the conversion.
•Installation must conform to local codes or in their absence, to 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, latest edition.

Safety and warning information
Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these precautions:
•Turn off all burners that are not in use.
•Do not line the grates or any part of the cooktop with aluminum foil.
•Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings.
•Before igniting, ensure the burner components are properly seated.
•Use the LITE (flame icon) position to ignite a burner, then ensure the burner ignites. If
ignition fails, turn the knob OFF, and wait a few minutes for the gas to dissipate.
• Wh en setting a burner to simmer, turn the knob slowly, and ensure the flame stays on.
•Place only cookware on the cooktop.
•Turn off a burner before removing the cookware.
•Ensure all cooktop burners are off and all surfaces are cool to the touch before
removing the grates and disassembling the burners.
•After cleaning the burner head, dry it completely before reassembly.
•Do not pour 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.
•Do not use cookware that is considerably larger than the grate.
•Turn cookware handles away from active burners or the front edge of the cooktop.
•Stand at a safe distance while frying.
•Heat frying oil slowly, and monitor the oil as it heats. For high-heat frying, monitor
the oil throughout the cooking process.
•If combining fats or oils, do so before heating.
•If possible, use a deep-fry thermometer so you can adjust the heat to keep the oil
below its smoke point. (Know the smoke point of your oil.)
•Use minimal oil when frying.
•Thaw food before frying; do not fry overly cold food or that is clumped with ice.
•Let hot oil/fat cool to room temperature before moving the cookware.
•In case of scalding:
– Immerse the scalded area in cool water for at least 10 minutes.
– Do not apply creams/oils/lotions.
– Cover the scalded area with a clean, dry cloth.
