IMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE:
* The California Safe Drinldng Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
Califln_nia to publish a list of substances
known to tile state to cause cancel; birth
detects or other reproductive hamL
and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposm'e to such substances.
, Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, flmnaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natm'al gas or I,P tuels.
Properly ac{justed burners, indicated by
a bhfish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized further
by venting with all open window or using the
ventilation tim.
"When you get your cooktop, have the installer
show you the location of the gas shut-off valve
and how to shut it off if necessary.
, Have your cooktop installed a_ad properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with tile installation instructions.
Any a@ustment and seswice should be
perflmned only by qualified gas range
installers 05"service technicians.
, Plug your cooktop into a 120=volt grounded
outlet only. Do not relno\ e tile round
grotmding prong ti_om the plug. If ill doubt
about the grotmding of the home electrical
system, it is yore" personal responsibility
and obligation to have an ungrounded
outlet replaced with a i)roperlDgrounded
3-prong outlet in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. Do not use an
extension cord with this appliance.
, Be sure all pacMng materiaJs are removed
from the cooktop befln'e operating it,
to prevent fire or smoke damage should

by a qualified service technician or installer
for the type of gas (natura3 or LP) which is
to be used.
*Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your cooktop unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be retbrred to a qualified
technician.
" Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a cooktop is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously bm'ned.
.CAUTION: Itemsofinterestto
children should not be stored in cabinets
above acooktop--children climbing on the
cooktop to reach items could be seriously
i*_jm'ed.
, Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam bm'ns.
, Do not clean the cooktop with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids,
, Do not clean the cooktop when the appliance
is in use,
" Avoid scratching the cooktop with sharp
instrmnents, or with rings and other jewelry.
, Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
"Never use the cooktop as a cutting board.
•Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching flw items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flamnlable material could be ignited

sm'thces and may cause severe burns.
, For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
, Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Tm_n the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surthce burner
by covering the pan completely with a
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Llse
a multi-purl)ose dry chemical or timm-t)])e
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by coveting it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multi-pin'pose dry
chemical or fl/am-t_pe fire extinguisher.
" Do not store flammahle materials near the
cooktop. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
*Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate on or near the cooktop.
, Never leave surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilo\ ers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
" Adjust surface burner fla_m size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
" Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfhces may result in burns
fl'om steam. Do not let pot holders come near
open flames when litfing cookware. Do not
use a towel or ()tiler bulky cloth in place of
a pot hokler.
" To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward tile side or center
of tile cooktop without extending over
ac{jacent btlrner or vent area.
, Always turn the surface burners to off before
removing the cookwaxe.
, Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost (211 [l"ozen tk)o(ls or llloisttlre o21 t_'esh
foods call cause hot tht to bubble III) and over
tile sides of tile pan.
" Use least possible amount of fat for effective
shallow or deep fat frying, Filling the pan
too full of tht can cause spillovers when food
is added.
" Carefully watch foods being fried at high
flmne setting.
, If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together betore heating, or as
ti_ts melt slowly.
" Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
" Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating _ht beyond
the smoking point.
, Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware
having fiat bottoms large enough to properly
contain fl_od and avoid boilovers and
spillovers, and large enough to cover burner
grate. This will both save cleaning time and
prevent hazardous accumulations of fl2od,
since hea W spattering or spillo\ ers let* on
cooktop call ignite. Use pans with handles
that can be easily grasped and remain cool.
" Keep all plastics away from burners.
* To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the off position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove a grate.
* If the cooktop is located near a window,
do IIot rise long curtains which cotlld blow
over the burners and create a fire hazard.

Your sur_hce burners are lit by electric ignition,
eliminating tile need tot standing pilot lights
with constantly burning flames.
All five igniters make clicking sounds and si)ark
even when only a single burner is being turned
on. Do not touch any of the bm'ners when the
igniters are clicking.
The burners on this cooktop relight
automatically if the flame goes out. This
heli)s prevent the inconvenience of having
to manually relight a burner.
Occasionally, the burners may spark if excess
wind or dratt blows the flame away i_'om the
btlrner's flame sensor.
All of the burner ignite_ spark while a burner
is relighting.
In case of a power outage, you can light the
surthce burners on your cooktop with a match.
Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn
the knob to the HIGH position. Use extreme
caution when lighting burners this way.
Sur_hce btu'ners in use when an electrical power
ihilure occurs will continue to operate normall>
Push the control knob down and turn it
counterclockwise to the desired position f]'om
HI to LO or simmer (SIM).
After the burner ignites, turn the knob in
either direction to at!just the flame size.
To turn a burner off, ttu'n the knob clockwise,
as lhr as it will go, to the OFF position.
, All of the burners can be used _br both
general cooking and simmering. The center
burner is tile maximum output btu'ner fi)r
larger pans or f_lst boiling operations.
" Do not operate a burner fox" an extended
period of time without cookware on the
grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
, Be sure the bm'ners and grates are cool
before you place your hand, a pot holder,
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.
" For your convenience, the indicator lamp in
the bezel for each knob verifies the burner
is "ON".
" Be sure you turn the control knob to "OFF"

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will

Wok cooking Use woks with a support ring (provided on

surfaces. If wall surtaces are constructed of
or covered with non-combustible materials
(such as masonry, ceramics, granite, stainless
steel, etc.) a larger diameter wok may be used.
