SAFETY
NOTRCE_
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement
Act
requires the governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive
harm
and requires businesses
to warn
customers
of potential exposure
to such substances.
Gas appliances
can cause minor
exposure to four of these
substances,
namely benzene,
carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde
and soot, caused primarily
by the
incomplete
combustion
of natural
gas or L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted
appliances,
indicated by the bluish
rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete
combustion.
Exposure to these substances
can
be minimized
by further venting
with an open window or using a
ventilation
fan or hood. The
cooktop, as shipped from the
factory,
can only be operated with
natural gas. High flames and toxic
fumes could cause serious injury.
if you wish to use your cooktop
with L.P. gas, you must convert
the cooktop following the
procedure found in the installation
instructions
shipped with your
appliance.
• DO NOT leave children alone or
unattended
near an appliance
in use.
o TEACH CHILDREN
not to play
with controls or any part of the
appliance,
and not to sit, climb or
stand on any part of the appliance.
• CAUTION:
NEVER STORE items
of interest to children in cabinets
above the appliance.
Children
climbing
on the appliance
could
be seriously injured.
KEEP THIS book for later use.
o
o
NEVER TRY to repair or replace
any part of the appliance
unless
instructions
are given in this guide.
All other work should be done by a
qualified technician.
• NEVER USE your appliance
for
warming or heating the room.
• ALWAYS
KEEP combustible
walt
coverings,
curtains, dishcloths,
towels, potholders
and other linens
a safe distance from the appliance.
o NEVER HEAT unopened
food
containers.
Pressure buildup can
cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
, NEVER LEAVE containers
of fat or
drippings
near your appliance.
• ALWAYS
KEEP the appliance
area
free from things that will burn. Food,
wooden utensils, grease buildup,
gasoline and other flammable
vapors or liquids could catch fire.
Plastic utensils could melt and
canned foods could explode. Your
appliance
should never be used as
a storage area.
, NEVER WEAR loose-fitting
clothing
when using your appliance.
, NEVER TRY to clean a hot surface.
Some cleaners produce
noxious
fumes, and wet cloths or sponges
could cause steam burns.
