IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all
instructions before using this
appliance.
Read this Use & Care Information
carefully before using your new
cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
Ensure proper installation and
servicing. This appliance must be
properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician. Have installer
show you where the gas supply
shut-off valve is located in your
home. Learn how and where to turn
off the gas to the cooktop.
Before performing any service, turn
off the gas supply by closing the gas
shut-off valve and unplug the
cooktop electrical power cord from
the wall receptacle.
Keep the igniter clean and dry for
proper lighting and performance of
the burner.
In the event that the burner goes
out and gas escapes, open a
window or a door. Wait at least five
minutes before using the cooktop.
Keep appliance area clear and free
from combustible material.
Adequate supply of air. Your kitchen
must provide an adequate supply of
fresh air to assure proper combus-
tion and ventilation.

Wear proper apparel. Never let loose
clothing or other flammable materi-
als come in contact with the burner
while in operation. Fabric may ignite
and cause personal injury.
Always use dry potholders when
removing pans from the cooktop.
Wet or damp potholders can cause
steam burns. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of potholders.
Choose pans with easily grasped
handles that will stay cool while
cooking. Refer to Cookware
Selection on page 10.
When cooking, set the burner
control so the flame heats only the
bottom of the pan and does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Always turn panhandles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent
work areas or the edge of the
cooktop.
Always check the position of the
control knob to make certain the
cooktop is off when you are finished
cooking.
Always light the burner prior to
placing a pan on the burner grate.
Also, turn the control knob to the
OFF position before removing a pan
from the burner grate.
Start the ventilation hood approxi-
mately five minutes before cooking;
this establishes an air curtain and
improves the capture of vapor and
moisture.
