READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
by a qualified service technician. See Warning on
page 3.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly
positioned on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in
use. Each of the feet must be placed into the
corresponding dimples in the cooktop. Do not use a
grate if the rubber feet are missing or damaged.
Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean
these when there is a boilover or when the burner does
not light even though the electronic igniters click.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
WARNING
Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra
low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low
burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will
spark.
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the
appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly, on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc., before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose-fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Do not place any objects on the projecting control panel
in front of the burners. The area becomes very hot during
cooking.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance,
it is the responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by
qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: 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 cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances. The
burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate some by-products
which are on the list. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the
instructions contained in this booklet and provide good
ventilation.
WARNING
Burning gas cooking fuel may create small amounts of
carbon monoxide, benzene and formaldehyde. To
minimize exposure to these substances, the burners
should be adjusted by a certified installer or agency to
ensure proper combustion. Ensure proper ventilation with
an open window or use a ventilation fan or hood when
cooking with gas. Always operate the appliance
according to the instructions in this manual.
After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and allow the
cooktop to cool. Clean around the burner and burner
ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
