READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before you Begin

WARNING
When properly cared for, your new appliance has been
designed to be safe and reliable. Read all instructions
carefully before use. These precautions will reduce the
risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions
must be followed, including these in the following pages.
INSTALLER: Please leave this guide with this unit for the
owner.
OWNER: Please retain this guide for future reference.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, observe the following:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by the
manufacturer. If you have questions, contact
the manufacturer (800-735-4328).
b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch
power off at service panel and lock service
panel. This will prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the service
panel cannot be locked, securely fasten a
prominent warning device, such as a tag to the
service panel.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of a grease fire:
a) Never leave surface units unattended at high
settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambe).
c) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element
or gas burner.
WARNING
For general ventilating use only. To avoid a fire or
explosion hazard, do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials or vapor.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury to persons, in the event of a
range top grease fire, observe the following:
• Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or
the electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If
the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and
call the fire department.
• Never pick up a flaming pan. You may be burned.
• Do not use water, including wet dish cloths or
towels, to extinguish flames – a violent steam
explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
a) You know you have a class ABC extinguisher
and you already know how to operate it.
b) The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
c) The fire department is being called.
d) You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop
and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
