IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
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, ~ ""

WARNING
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.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

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.
WARNING
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.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or
when flambeing food (i.e. Crêpes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
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.
