properly installed in the countertop.
~
This appliance is intended for
residential cooking only.
~
Use the appliance only for its
intended purpose. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for
damages caused by improper use of
the cooktop.
~
Take care that drafts do not blow
flammable material toward the flames
or push the flames so that they extend
beyond the edges of the pan.
~
Never use the cooktop to warm the
room.
~
Install the cooktop in a room that
has sufficient ventilation.

For proper lighting and performance
of the burners, keep the igniters clean
and dry.
~
Make sure all components of the
gas burners are assembled correctly
before using the cooktop.
~
Ensure that any burners in use are
always covered with a pan.
~
Do not use pans with too large of a
bottom diameter. Using larger pans
may cause the flames to spread out
and damage the surrounding
countertop or other countertop
appliances.
~
For safety and stability, do not use
pans with a bottom diameter smaller
than the grate.
~
Only certain types of glass / ceramic
or other glazed cookware are suitable

Do not store aerosols, combustibles
and / or any other easily flammable
materials underneath or adjacent to the

the appliance. Steam could penetrate
electrical components and cause a
short circuit.
~
Spills containing salt or sugar
should be removed immediately.
~
Do not drop anything on the ceramic
surface of the appliance. Although the
ceramic glass is shock and scratch
resistant, it is not shock or scratch
proof.
