1. Important Safety Information

Always follow basic safety precautions when using this appliance to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury.

• Gas Leak Detection: Never use an open flame to check for gas leaks. Use a soapy water solution.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the kitchen area when operating the cooktop.
