be safe
Your new Capital PERFORMANCE SERIES™
cooktop has been designed to be a safe, reliable
appliance when properly used and maintained. If
not properly used, it could be dangerous. Read ALL
the instructions in this Use and Care Guide
carefully before using this appliance.
Safety precautions must be followed when
using any kitchen appliance.
INSTALLATION SAFETY:
Insure proper installation and servicing. Follow the
installation instructions provided with this product.
Have the cooktop installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply
shut off valve is located so that you know how and
where to turn off the gas to the range.
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 smell a faint gas odor. Finding a
gas leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some
leaks can only be found with the burner control
in the “ON” position and a qualified service
technician must do this.
BURNER SAFETY:
In the event a burner goes out and gas escapes,
open a window or door immediately. DO NOT
attempt to use the range until the gas has had time
to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before using
the range.
DO NOT repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in
this manual. All other servicing should be referred
to a factory-authorized service technician.
If the cooktop is near a window, be certain the
curtains do not blow over or near the range
burners, griddle or broiler section; they could catch
fire and cause serious injury.
WARNING!
These precautions will reduce the risk of
burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to
persons. Use extreme care when using this
restaurant caliber cooktop as this appliance
provides intense heat and can increase
accident potential.
CHILD SAFETY:
Children SHOULD NOT be left alone or unattended
in an area where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
CAUTION! Do not store items of interest to
children above the cooktop or behind it. If
children should climb onto the appliance to
reach these items, they could be seriously
injured.
STORAGE SAFETY:
NEVER use any part of the range for storage.
Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items
may melt or ignite.
GREASE FIRE SAFETY:
DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES! Turn
appliance off and smother fire with baking soda or
use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SAFETY:
NEVER let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable
materials come into contact with or too close to any
element, burner, or burner grate until it has cooled.
Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
USE ONLY DRY POT HOLDERS. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
the steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot
elements, hot burners, or burner grates.
ALWAYS use utensils that have flat bottoms, large
enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized
utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
CLOTHING SAFETY:
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, wear proper apparel.
Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should
never be worn while using this appliance. Some
synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not
be worn while cooking.
