WARNING
The burning of gas cooking fuel can
create small amounts of Carbon
Monoxide, Benzene, Formaldehyde
and Soot. 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
unit 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.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring
or turning food. This helps prevent spills
and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will
expose a portion of the heating element
or burner to direct contact and may result
in ignition of clothing. Select cookware
having flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface heating unit. This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of different sizes. Proper relationship of
cookware to heating element or burner
will also improve efficiency.
Always position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over
adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge
of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of
fires, spills and burns.
Adjust burner flame size so that it does
not extend beyond the edge of the
cookware. Proper relationship of
cookware to burner flame reduces safety
risks.

Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
