Gas Appliance Safety
WARNING:
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a
fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
-- Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
-- WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fire department.
-- Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, authorized service agency or
the gas supplier.

get the best performance out of each component.
• The Cleaning and Maintenance section describes how
to clean and maintain the appliance.
• The Service section includes troubleshooting tips and
your warranty.
Before using your appliance, be sure to read this manual.
Pay special attention to the Important Safety Instructions
located at the beginning of the manual.
• Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off
valve is located.
• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows
and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the
appliance.
• 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 "WHAT
TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS" on page 1.
• During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can
be lit manually.
• To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.
• For proper lighting and performance of burners, keep
igniters clean and dry.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
•
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 booklet and provide
good ventilation.
• Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep
pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where
kitchen fumes could reach them. Kitchen fumes such
as overheating margarines and cooking oils may be
harmful.
