IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN 
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, 
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be
burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels – a violent steam explosion will result.
Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
- You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and
you already know how to operate it.
- The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
- The fire department is being called
- You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system 
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire 
to turn it off.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
When gas burners are in operation without any cookware 
placed on them, they can build up a lot of heat. A 
ventilation appliance installed above the cooker may 
become damaged or catch fire. Only operate the gas 
burners with cookware on them.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
During simultaneous use of multiple gas cooktops, a 
great deal of heat is created. A ventilation device located 
above it can become damaged or catch fire. Never use 
two gas cooktops together at maximum heat for longer 
than 15 minutes. One large burner with over 17,000 Btu/
hr (5 kW) (wok) is equal to the wattage of two gas 
burners.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Hot oil and fat catch fire fast. Never leave hot oil and fat 
unsupervised. Never extinguish a fire with water. Switch 
off the cooking position. Suffocate flames carefully with a 
lid, a fire blanket or similar. 
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can ignite.
Clean the grease filter at least every two months.
Never operate the appliance without the grease filter.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
Grease deposits in the grease filter can catch fire. Never 
work with a naked flame near the appliance (e.g. 
flambéing). Install the unit near a heat-producing 
appliance for solid fuels (e.g. wood or coal) only if there 
is a closed, non-detachable cover. There must be no 
flying sparks.
Burn Prevention
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
The accessible parts get hot during operation. Never 
touch hot parts. Keep children away.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, 
it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal 
guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe 
practices by qualified persons.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the 
appliance. Destroy the packaging after unpacking the 
appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging 
material. 
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on 
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming 
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the 
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing 
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely 
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be 
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance 
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its 
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an 
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the 
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach 
items could be seriously injured.
