The appliance and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
For Canada only:
The minimum supply pressure for
checking the regulator setting shall be
5 inches water column (1246 Pa),
which is 1 inch water column (249 Pa)
above the manifold pressure of 4 in-
ches water column (996 Pa).

Warning and Safety Instructions
Important safety instructions
Warning:
When using your cooktop, follow
basic safety precautions including
the following:
Read all instructions before using
the cooktop.
Use the cooktop only for its in-
tended purpose.
Do not use the cooktop unless all
parts are properly in place accord-
ing to the installation and operating in-
structions.
Before servicing, disconnect the
power supply by removing the fuse
or tripping the circuit breaker.
The electrical safety of this ap-
pliance can only be guaranteed
when continuity is complete between
the appliance and an effective ground-
ing system.
It is imperative that this basic safety re-
quirement is met. If there is any doubt,
have the electrical system of the house
checked by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for damage caused by the lack or
inadequacy of an effective grounding
system.
Do not connect the appliance to the
main electrical supply using an exten-
sion cord. Extension cords do not guaran-
tee the required safety of the appliance.
Never use the cooktop to warm or
heat the room.
Store all toys away from the cook-
top to prevent injury to curious or
playful children.
Please remember that, in use, bur-
ners and pot racks become hot.
Ensure that children do not touch them.
Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate
on the cooktop.
Allow sufficient time for the burners
to cool before touching or expos-
ing surface areas to flammable ma-
terials.
Always cook pork thoroughly to en-
sure that, in the event of trichina,
all bacteria will be killed and the meat
is safe to eat.
If high settings are used, remain
near the cooktop and watch for
splattering grease or boiling over which
may cause smoking.
Never use wet potholders.
Use only cookware suitable for
range-top service. Unsuitable
cookware may break due to sudden
temperature changes.
Warning and Safety Instructions

Warning and Safety Instructions
Always position the handle of the
cookware toward the center of the
range to minimize burns and spillage.
Before removing pots and pans,
be sure to turn the cooktop ”OFF“.
Always heat oil slowly so it doesn’t
bubble over.
When frying foods, make sure that
the food is as dry as possible to
prevent moisture from causing hot oil to
bubble over.
When shallow or deep frying, do
not overfill the pan with oil.
Do not use a steam-cleaning ap-
pliance to clean the gas cooktop.
The steam could penetrate to electrical
components and cause a short circuit.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

between adjacent cabinets and fix-
tures – 4" (100 mm).
between the appliance and rear wall
– 2 1/4" (55 mm).
between the appliance and over-
head cabinets and fixtures
– 30" (760 mm)
between the appliance and front
edge of countertop – 2 1/4" (55 mm)
between cabinets and the extended
cooking surface – 18" (460 mm)
Backsplashes and/or side walls

Warning and Safety instructions
Important notes for the user
Installation and maintenance
should only be performed by a
qualified technician.
For safety reasons, this cooktop
should only be installed as a built-
in appliance.
Please remember that the cooktop
may become hot, not only around
the burner, but also around the control
panel. Ensure that small children do not
touch the cooktop when it is being
used.
Never leave the cooktop unat-
tended when cooking with oil or
fat. Overheated oil and fat can catch
fire.
When cooking or boiling in large
pots or pans, ensure that there is a
minimum distance of 2" (50 mm) be-
tween the pot and a heat-sensitive
countertop. After combustion, the hot
gases flow outwards under the base of
the pot and may consequently burn the
edge of the countertop if it is not heat
resistant.
Make sure that there is a minimum
distance of 5/8" (15 mm) between
the pot or pan and the control panel.
Never place a pot on the control panel.
When using an electric outlet near
the cooktop, care should be taken
to ensure that the cable of the electrical
appliance does not fall into the flames.
When using a vent hood over a
gas cooktop, make sure that any lit
burners are always covered with a pot
or frying pan. Otherwise, parts of the
vent hood could be damaged by the
heat and / or flames.
Note and correct any potential ha-
zards that may exist in regards to
overhead cabinets.
Do not use the cooktop for space
heating.
Keep these instructions in a safe
place and pass them on to any future
user.
Disposal of an old appliance
Before disposing of an old appli-
ance, ensure that disconnection
from the gas supply is made by a quali-
fied technician. Turn off at the main
power source, and disconnect and
remove the appliance cable. This is in-
tended to prevent the discarded ap-
pliance from becoming a hazard.
Text highlighted in boxes is of par-
ticular importance and should be
read in conjunction with the Warn-
ing and Safety instructions.

Using the cooktop
Before using for the first time thor-
oughly read the “Warning and
Safety instructions”.
Burner controls
The burner controls can only be
turned counter-clockwise as far as
the small flame symbol, otherwise
the controls could be damaged.
The flame strength can selected as fol-
lows:
XGas turned off
&High flame
/Low flame
The gas flame is lit by electriconic igni-
tion. When the burner control is
pressed, a spark passes from the igni-
tor to the burner and ignites the gas to
give a flame.
Each burner is equipped with an igni-
tion safety device. If a gas flame goes
out, for example if food has boiled over
or if there was a sudden draft, the igni-
tion safety control cuts off the supply of
gas.
Instructions for using the gas
burners
Place the pan on the pan support.
A ring support (trivet) is supplied with
the cooktop. It is designed to rest on
the pan support when using small
pans.
The ring support should only be used
on a normal (front) burner with a low
flame.
It should only be used with pans hav-
ing a diameter of less than 4" (10 cm).
Ignoring this advice could result in
damage to the ring support enamel.
