IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
CAUTION
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above
a range or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do Not Leave Children Alone.
▶
Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where the appliance is in use.
▶
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.
▶
Always check inside the oven before turning it on.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of suffocation:
▶
Do not allow children to play with packaging material.
▶
Store small parts safely as they can be a choke hazard.
1.6 Gas safety
WARNING
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.
WARNING
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve
is located.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and
doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the
appliance.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job
of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly
tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint
smell. If you smell gas, immediately shut off the unit and
contact an authorized service provider to diagnose the
issue. Read the WARNING about gas smell. → Page 3
WARNING
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.
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and
dry.
CAUTION
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in
▶
use.
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.
To prevent flare-ups do not use the cooktop without all
burner caps and all burner grates properly positioned.
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.
WARNING
Cooking with gas can release small amounts of certain
byproducts, such as Carbon Monoxide, Benzene,
Formaldehyde, Nitrogen Oxides (including Nitrogen
Dioxide), and Particulate Matter / Soot. To minimize
exposure to these substances:
▶
Always ensure proper ventilation by using an
appropriate ventilation fan or hood and/or an open
window.
Always operate the appliance according to the
▶
instructions in this manual.
▶
The burners should be adjusted by a certified installer
or agency to ensure proper combustion.
1.7 Food safety
CAUTION
To maintain food safety, follow these guidelines
▶
DO NOT use a warming drawer to heat cold food. It is
safe to use the drawer to crisp crackers, chips or dry
cereal and to warm plates.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The
▶
USDA recommends holding hot food at 140°F or
warmer.
▶
DO NOT leave food in the warming drawer for more
