Important safety instructions
General
Have your cooktop installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with
the installation instructions.
Be sure to have the installer show you how to turn off the gas and electrical supply.
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this user guide.
To avoid risk of burns and/or fire, keep loose clothing, potholders or any other flammable
materials well clear of the burner flame.
Always use a potholder when removing cookware from the cooktop. Do not use wet or damp
potholders as these can cause steam burns. Do not use towels or similar cloths for removing
cookware.
When deep frying fat, be sure the pan is large enough not to cause an overflow from bubbling
of the fat. Do not deep-fry foods with a high moisture content or food covered with frost.
Turn the pot handles to the side or the back of the cooktop, away from the reach of children.
Handles should not be positioned over adjacent burners.
Always check that the control knobs are in the 'off' position when you have finished cooking.
While using the cooktop, surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns.
Do not leave children alone or unattended near the cooktop. Never allow children to stand, sit
or play near, on, or with the cooktop.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Do not use the cooktop to heat unopened food containers, such as cans. This will cause the
container to burst and could result in injury.
