Extremely Heavy.
Proper equipment and adequate manpower are needed when move the rangetop to
avoid personal injury or damage to the unit or the floor.
Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
1. Use this rangetop for its intended purpose as described in this instruction manual.
2. Have your rangetop installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
3. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by a qualified rangetop installer or
service technician. Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your rangetop unless it is
specifically recommended in this manual.
4. Your rangetop is shipped from the factory set for use with natural gas or propane (LP) gas.
It can be converted for use with either. If required, these adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician in accordance with the installation instructions and local codes. The agency
performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
5. Have the installer show you the location of the rangetop gas shut-off valve and how to turn it
off if necessary.
6. Plug your rangetop into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not removed the round
grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension code with this rangetop.
7. Before performing any service, unplug the rangetop or disconnect the power supply at
the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
8. Be sure all packing materials are removed from the rangetop before operating to
prevent i gnition of these materials.
9.Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the rangetop.
10.Never block the vents (air openings) of the rangetop. They provide the air inlets and
outlets that are necessary for the rangetop to operate properly with correct combustion.
11.Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, or burner grate. Do not use a
towel or other bulky fabrics in place of pot holders.
12.Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing any injury.
.

Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily
foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when frying in a shallow pan and
avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that
matches the size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames may be hazardous.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, cookware handles
should be turned toward the center of the rangetop without extending over nearby burners.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the
burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the surface burners
resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. Use a food
thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.
Keep the ventilator hood and grease filter clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease
fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case of a fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other
spirits on the cooktop. The blower if in operation, could spread the flames.
TOP
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper,
plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may
ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
Grease on the cooktop may ignite.
