Read this Use & Care Information
carefully before using your new
cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
Ensure proper installation and
servicing. This appliance must be
properly installed and grounded by

show you where the gas supply
shut-off valve is located in your
home. Learn how and where to turn
off the gas to the cooktop.
Before performing any service, turn
off the gas supply by closing the gas
shut-off valve and unplugging the
cooktop electrical power cord from
the wall receptacle.
Keep igniters clean and dry for
proper lighting and performance of
the burners.
In the event that a burner goes out
and gas escapes, open a window or
a door. Wait at least five minutes

Adequate supply of air. Your kitchen
must provide an adequate supply of
fresh air to ensure proper combus-
tion and ventilation.
Start the ventilation hood approxi-
mately five minutes before cooking
on the cooktop; this establishes an
air curtain, and improves the capture
of vapor and moisture.
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose
clothing or other flammable materi-
als come in contact with the burners
while in operation. Fabric may ignite
and cause personal injury.
Always use dry pot holders when
removing pans from the cooktop.
Wet or damp pot holders can cause
steam burns. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Choose pans with easily grasped
handles that will stay cool while
cooking. Refer to Cookware Selec-
tion on page 14.
When cooking, set burner controls
so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Always turn panhandles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent
work areas, burners or the edge of
the cooktop.
