General Safety Precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your appliance, follow basic safety
precautions, including the following:
Read the accompanying use and care manual
•
completely before operating this appliance.
Keep packaging materials away from children.
•
Plastic sheets and bags can cause suffocation.
If you receive a damaged product, immediately
•
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a
damaged appliance.
This cooktop must be properly installed and
•
grounded by a qualified installer according to these
installation instructions prior to use. The installer
should show the customer the location of the gas
shut off valve and the power cord so that they
know where and how to turn off the gas supply and
disconnect power to the cooktop.
Do not use this appliance in combination with a
•
surface (countertop) ventilation system. Dacor
strongly recommends the installation of a range
hood in conjunction with this appliance.
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the
•
cooktop unless specifically recommended in the
literature accompanying it. A qualified service
technician should perform all other service.
Before servicing or installing this cooktop, make
•
sure that the gas supply is turned off at the
gas supply valve and that the power plug is
disconnected from the electrical outlet.
Disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet
•
before cleaning. Clean this appliance only in the
manner specified in the use and care manual.
Only use the cooktop for cooking tasks expected
•
of a home appliance as outlined in the literature
accompanying it. This cooktop is not intended for
commercial or laboratory use.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE
•
COOKTOP DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER
USE.
Do not operate this appliance if the power cord is
•
damaged.
Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
•
them from the valve stems.
To avoid a fire hazard, do not hang flammable or
•
heat sensitive objects over the cooktop.
Do not climb on any part of the appliance.
•
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the
•
area around the cooktop. Do not allow children to
play with the controls or touch other parts of the
cooktop. Do not store items of interest to children
on top of or above the cooktop. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for
•
the first time. Make sure that all the cooktop parts
are dry before lighting a burner.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
•
plastic and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not place such items on the
cooktop. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot
surfaces or gas burners.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using
•
the cooktop. Do not allow clothing to come into
contact with the cooktop and surrounding areas
during and immediately after use.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
•
Do not use the cooktop to heat sealed containers.
•
The container and contents may explode, causing
personal injury.
If the cooktop is near a window, do not use long
•
curtains as window treatment. The curtains could
blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
•
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room when operating the cooktop.
IMPORTANT - This appliance is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
possible electric shock
hazards. Plug it only into a
dedicated, grounded three-
prong electrical outlet. It is the
responsibility of the customer
to make sure the proper type
of outlet is installed.
Do not
under any circumstances:
Cut or remove the third
•
(ground) prong from the power cord.
Use an adapter plug.
•
Use an extension cord.
•
Use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.
•
Connect to an electrical outlet with a ground
•
fault interrupter (GFI).
