DANGER
CHEMICAL HAZARD
If not installed, operated and

with the manufacturer’s
instructions, this product could expose
you to substances in fuel or from fuel
combustion which can cause death or
serious illness and which are known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
For example, benzene is a chemical
which is part of the gas supplied to the
cooking product. It is consumed in the
flame during combustion. However
exposure to a small amount of benzene
is possible if a gas leak occurs.
Formaldehyde and soot are byproducts
of incomplete combustion. Properly
adjusted burners with a bluish rather
than yellow flame will minimize
incomplete combustion.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
The use of cabinets for storage above the
appliance may result in a potential burn
hazard. Combustible items may ignite,
metallic items may become hot and cause
burns. If a cabinet storage is to be
provided the risk can be reduced by
installing a range hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5” (12.7 cm)
beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
CAUTION
Before placing the cooktop into operation,
always check for gas leaks with a soapy
water solution or other acceptable method.
