Fire Safety
Save these instructions.
Set the burner control so that the flame
does not extend beyond the bottom of the
pan.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper
or cloth to come in contact with a hot
surface element, burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
If the cooktop is near a window, forced air
vent or fan, be certain that flammable
materials such as window coverings do
not blow over or near the burners or
elements. They could catch on fire.
Always have a working smoke detector
near the kitchen.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when
in use. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite.
9WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
GREASE FIRE:
1. Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Heat oils slowly on low or medium
settings.
2. Always turn hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when
flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
3. Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
4. Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size
of the surface element.
In the event that personal clothing or hair
catches fire, drop and roll immediately to
extinguish flames.
Smother flames from food fires other than
grease fires with baking soda. Never use
water on cooking fires.
Take care that drafts like those from fans
or forced air vents do not push the flames
so that they extend beyond the edges of
the pan.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher
available, nearby, highly visible and easily
accessible near the appliance.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
9WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out
immediately, EVACUATE AND
CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
– You may be burned.
3. DO NOT USE WATER, including
wet dishcloths or towels – a
violent steam explosion will result.
4. Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
– You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
– The fire is small and contained
in the area where it started.
– The fire department is being
called.
– You can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the
ventilation system during a cooktop fire.
However, do not reach through fire to turn
it off.
Gas Safety
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do
not block appliance air vents.
Have the installer show you where the gas
shut-off valve is located.
For proper burner performance, keep
igniters clean and dry.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open windows and doors. Wait until gas
dissipates before using the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Burning
gas cooking fuel generates some by-
products which are on the list of
substances which are known by the State
of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure
to these substances, always operate this
unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide
good ventilation.
9WARNING
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, ~"Gas Appliance Safety"
on page 3

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

9WARNING
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 igniter 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 though the electronic igniters click.
9WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the
cooktop without all burner caps and
all burner grates properly
positioned.
9WARNING
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.
9WARNING
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.
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.
9WARNING
Risk of burns!
Only close the appliance cover once
the appliance has cooled down.
Never turn on the appliance with the
appliance cover closed. Don't set
down food on appliance cover or use
it for keeping food warm.
Do not heat or warm unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause
injury.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Always turn hood ON when cooking at
high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.
Crêpes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
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
When children become old enough to use
the appliance, it is the 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

Cleaning Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel can
generate some by-products which are on
the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit
according to the instructions contained in
this manual and provide good ventilation.

9IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
8
9WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can
create small amounts of Carbon
Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde
and Soot. To minimize exposure to
these substances the burners should
be adjusted by a certified installer or
agency to ensure proper
combustion. Ensure proper
ventilation with an open window or
use a ventilation fan or hood when
cooking with gas. Always operate the
unit according to the instructions in
this manual.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the
burner and allow the cooktop to cool.
Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring
or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating element
or burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
Always position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge
of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does
not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces safety
risks.
Proper Installation and Maintenance
Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
This appliance must be properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.

Environmental protection
Environmentalprotection The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips
and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
Saving energy
▯Choose a burner of roughly the same size as your pan.
Place the cookware in the middle.
▯Use a small saucepan for small quantities. A larger,
less full saucepan requires a lot of energy.
▯Always place suitable lids on saucepans. Cooking
without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use
a glass lid so that you can see into the pan without
having to lift the lid.
▯Cook with only a little water. That saves energy.
Vitamins and minerals in vegetables are preserved.
▯Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. As a
result, you save energy.

Tableofsettingsandtips
Tips for cooking and roasting
The values in the settings table serve as mere guidelines,
since more or less heat may be required, depending on
the type and condition of the foods, as well as the size
and fullness of the pot.
The high output causes grease and oil to heat up quickly.
Don't leave food unattended while frying; grease can
catch fire and burn the food.
The rear cooking zone should be used to prepare foods
requiring longer cooking times.
For parboiling, frying and deep-frying large portions, you
should use the high-output burner.
