• Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions which came with this appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this appliance before using. •Have the installer show you where the gas supply shutoff valve is located so you will know how and where to turn off the gas to the appliance. • If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks.You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely sealed. 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 for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. • If by some chance a burner goes out and does not reignite and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had time to dissipate. • This appliance has been factory assembled for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane if indicated. It should be correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for gas types other than natural. • Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual.All other servicing should be referred to a qualified service technician. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance. CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children on or around the Drop-In Cooktop. Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto or reach across the appliance to reach these items. • Never store anything on the cooktop. Flammable materials can accidently catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined. • Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire. • If the appliance is near a window be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop burners; they could catch on fire. • Do not use water on grease fires. Turn all burners OFF, then smother fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. •Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or too close to any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. • Be certain to use only dry pot holders; moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burn injury from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners, or burner grates. 3 Safety Practices & Precautions •For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. • Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in a fire hazard. WARNING: This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room. •When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding area. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns. • Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. A possible boil over could cause smoking or greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, the unburned gas will escape into the room, which would be extremely dangerous. • Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for use on the open flame of the cooktop. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break with sudden temperature changes. • Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst. • During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats at the bottom of the pan and does not curl around the bottom edges of the pan.This could heat and/or melt the handles. •Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner.The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. •To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and accidental spill overs, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the outside edges of the cooktop. • Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food. • Grease is flammable. Do not use water on grease fires.Turn OFF the burner, then smother the fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the base of the cookt...
