Important Safety Instructions General Safety Precautions To promote household safety when using the cooktop, follow basic safety precautions, including these precautions: WARNING • Read the cooktop use and care manual completely before operating this appliance. • Keep packaging materials away from children. (Plastic sheets/bags are suffocation hazards.) • If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact your dealer/builder. Do not install/use a damaged appliance. • This cooktop must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified installer per these instructions before use. The installer should show the customer the gas shut-off valve and power cord so they know where/how to turn off the gas supply and disconnect power to the cooktop. • Do not install/repair/replace any cooktop component unless specifically recommended in the accompanying literature. A qualified technician should perform all other service. • Before service/installation, turn off the gas supply at the gas-supply valve and unplug the power cord. • Unplug the power cord before cleaning. (For cleaning instructions, see the User Manual.) • Use the cooktop for cooking tasks consistent with a home appliance per the accompanying literature. (The cooktop is for home use only.) • DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKTOP SURFACE DURING/IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. • Do not operate the cooktop if its power cord is damaged. • Turn OFF the knobs before removing them from the valve stems. • Clean the cooktop fully before operating it the first time; verify that all cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner. • Do not hang flammable or heat-sensitive objects above the cooktop. • Do not climb/stand/kneel on the appliance. • Do not leave the cooktop unattended while in use. • Do not leave children unattended near the cooktop or let children play with/climb on the cooktop; do not store items of interest to children on/above the cooktop. • Keep flammable items (e.g., paper, cardboard, plastic, cloth) away from the cooktop. Do not let potholders touch hot surfaces or gas burners. • Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the cooktop. Do not let clothing touch the cooktop and surrounding areas during and immediately after use. • If the cooktop is near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over the hot cooktop. • Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders. • Do not heat closed/sealed containers on the cooktop. (The container may explode, causing personal injury.) • When heated, non-stick coatings can harm birds. When using non-stick cookware, move pet birds to a separate, wellventilated room. The cooktop has a three-prong grounding plug to prevent possible electric shock. Plug it in a dedicated, grounded three-prong outlet. (The customer shall ensure the proper outlet is installed.) • DO NOT cut/remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. • DO NOT use an adapter plug or extension cord. • DO NOT use a frayed/damaged power cord. • DO NOT plug in to an outlet with a ground fault interrupter (GFI). 2
