IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

Installation of this cooktop must conform with local codes

Gas Code ANSI Z223.1—latest edition in the United
States, or in Canada, with the Canadian Fuel Gas Code,
CAN/CGA B149 and CAN/CGA B149.2.

This cooktop has been design certified by American Gas
Association (A.G.A.). As with any appliance using gas
and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions
you should follow. You will find them in the Use and
Care Guide, read it carefully.

Be sure your cooktop is installed and grounded

properly by a qualified installer or service
technician.

This cooktop must be electrically grounded in

accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70—latest edition in the United States, or in
Canada, with the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA
C22.1 Part 1.

The burners can be lit manually during an

electrical power outage. To light a burner, hold a
lit match to the burner head, then slowly turn the
Surface Control knob to LITE. Use caution when
lighting burners manually.

Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the cooktop. Children could be
seriously burned climbing on the cooktop to reach items.

To eliminate the need to reach over the surface

burners, cabinet storage space above the burners
should be avoided.

Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
Excessive flame is hazardous.

Never use your cooktop for warming or heating

the room. Prolonged use of the cooktop without
adequate ventilation can be hazardous.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance.
Explosions or fires could result.

The electrical power to the cooktop

must be shut off while line connections are being
made. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury or death.
