Important safety instructions

General
Be sure to have the installer show you how and where to turn off the gas and electrical supply.
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.
To avoid risk of burns and/or fire keep loose clothing, pot holders or any other flammable
materials well clear of the burner flame.
Always use a pot holder when removing cookware from the cooktop. Do not use wet or damp
pot holders as these can cause steam burns. Do not use towels or similar cloths for removing
cookware.
Use cookware of the appropriate size and construction for the type of cooking. Cookware must
be matched to the size of the cast iron grate.
While deep frying fat, be sure the pan is large enough not to cause an overflow from bubbling of
the fat. Do not deep fry foods with a high moisture content or food covered with frost.
Turn the pot handles to the side or the back of the cooktop away from the reach of children.
Handles should not be positioned over adjacent burners.
Always check that the control knobs are in the 'off' position when you have finished cooking.
Light each burner before placing cookware over the burner. Turn each burner off before
removing cookware.
Keep ventilation filters clean to avoid grease fires.
Cookware should be placed carefully on the burner and balanced on the grate.
While using the cooktop, surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not leave children alone or unattended near the cooktop. Never allow children to stand, sit
or play near, on or with the cooktop.
Keep any items that may be of interest to children away from the vicinity of the cooktop.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Do not use the cooktop to heat unopened food containers, such as cans. This will cause the
container to burst and potentially result in injury.
