This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Make sure all packaging materials are removed from the cooktop before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.
Make sure the cooktop is properly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be used. The cooktop can be converted for use with either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.
These adjustments must be done by a qualified service technician according to the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or property damage. The qualified agency performing this work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Remove all tape and packing materials before using the cooktop. Dispose of all plastic bags after unpacking the cooktop. Never allow children to play with packing materials.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer, service agency, manufacturer (dealer) or your gas supplier.
Never reuse old flexible connectors. The use of old flexible connectors can cause gas leaks and personal injury. Always use NEW flexible connectors when installing a gas appliance.
This appliance must not be installed with a ventilation system that blows air downward toward the cooktop. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operation.
Ask the installer to show you the location of the cooktop gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
Before servicing, disconnect the electrical supply.
