1.7 Gas safety
WARNING
To prevent carbon monoxide build-up, do not block
appliance air vents.
WARNING
Have the installer show you where the gas shut-off valve
is located.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and
doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the
appliance.
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 faint
smell. 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 this must be done by a
qualified service technician. Read the WARNING about
gas smell.
WARNING
Keep the igniter ports clean for proper lighting
performance of the burners. It is necessary to clean these
when there is a boilover or when the burner does not light
even though the electronic igniters click.
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and
dry.
CAUTION
All igniters spark when any single burner is turned on.
Do not touch any of the burners when the cooktop is in
▶
use.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups all grates must be properly positioned
on the cooktop whenever the cooktop is in use. Each of
the feet must be placed into the corresponding dimples in
the cooktop.
Do not use a grate if the rubber feet are missing or
▶
damaged.
WARNING
Do not clean or touch any of the burners when an extra
low burner (if equipped) is in use. When the extra low
burner automatically reignites the ignitor at the burner will
spark.

The burning of gas cooking fuel can create small amounts
