Important Safety Instructions
• If you receive a damaged product, immediately
contact your dealer or builder. Do not install or use
a damaged appliance.
• Make sure that the cooktop has been properly
installed and grounded by a qualified installer
according to the accompanying installation
instructions. Have the installer show you the location
of the gas shut off valve and power cord so that you
know where and how to turn off the gas supply and
disconnect power to the cooktop.
• Do not install, repair, or replace any part of the
cooktop unless specifically recommended in
the accompanying literature. A qualified service
technician should perform all other servicing.
• Before performing any type of service, make sure
that the gas supply is turned off and the cooktop’s
power cord is disconnected.
• Only use this cooktop for cooking tasks expected of
a home appliance as outlined in this manual. This
cooktop is not intended for commercial use.
• DO NOT TOUCH THE GRATES OR SURFACES
AROUND THE BURNERS DURING OR
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. Glass surfaces may be
hot, even though they are dark in color. After use,
make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time
to cool before touching them.
• Make sure this appliance is used only by those
individuals who are able to operate it properly.
• Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand,
or climb on any part of the cooktop. Doing so may
cause damage, serious injury, or death. Do not
leave children or pets 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.
• Do not adjust or alter any part of the cooktop unless
specifically instructed to do so in these instructions.
• Do not cover the burners and grates with anything
except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers
may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop
if a burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in
place.
• To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the
cooktop unattended when in use.
• Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby
food jars and cans. Pressure build-up may cause
the container to burst and cause injury.
• Clean the cooktop thoroughly before operating it for
the first time according to the
Care and Cleaning
section.
• Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
plastic, and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. 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 hang flammable or heat sensitive objects
over the cooktop.
• 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.
• Clean and maintain the cooktop regularly as
instructed in this manual. Keep the entire cooktop,
ventilation filters and range hoods free of grease
that could catch fire.
• Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check
the manufacture’s recommendations before use
to determine if a utensil is suitable for use on a
cooktop. Certain types of glass, ceramic, and
earthenware are not suitable for use on a cooktop.
Personal injury or damage may result from the
improper use of cookware.
• Select cookware carefully: use the proper size,
material, and construction for the particular type
of cooking being done. Cookware needs to be
large enough to contain the desired quantity of
food without boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans
with easy-to-hold handles that will stay cool while
cooking. Do not use utensils with loose handles.
Avoid using pans that are too heavy to lift safely.
• Do not allow pots or pans to boil dry.
• Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a
hot cooktop. The steam can cause serious burns or
scalds.
• Do not use sprays near the appliance during use.
• Do not use the cooktop if the glass on top is
cracked or broken. If the glass is cracked or broken,
cleaning solutions and spill-overs may penetrate
it and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified service technician immediately to replace a
damaged cooktop.
• To prevent unintended operation, wipe up spills
covering the control panel immediately. Do not lay
anything on top of the control panel.
