Install or locate the cooktop only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation Instruc-
tions. It is recommended
that the cooktop be
installed by a qualified installer. The cooktop
must be properly connected to the proper gas
supply and checked for leaks. The cooktop
must also be properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded.
. Gas fuels and their use in appliances
can
cause minor exposures to benzene, formalde-
hyde, carbon monoxide and soot, primarily
from incomplete combustion.
Significant
exposure to these substances can cause
cancer or reproductive
harm. Properly
adjusted burners with a blue, rather than a
yellow, flame will minimize incomplete
combustion.
Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.
