NEVER let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials come into contact with or too close to any
Element, Burner, or Burner Grate until it has cooled.
Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
COOKING SAFETY:
USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
the steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
in place of potholders. Do not let Potholders touch
hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates.
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 as a shield against
food spills or drippings around the burners or
control panel area. This could obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilated air. This can damage
the finish of the range.
DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR
THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS
adjacent to the burners. When in use these areas
may become hot enough to cause burns.
NEVER leave the range unattended when using
high flame settings. Boil-overs cause
smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. More
importantly, if the burner flames are
smothered, unburned gas will escape into the
room. See inside front cover regarding gas
leaks.
ONLY certain types of glass, heat proof glass-
ceramic, ceramic earthenware or other
glazed utensils are suitable for range use. Other
types of utensils may break with sudden
temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
heat settings according to the utensil
manufacturer's directions
WARNING! This appliance is for cooking!
Based on safety considerations, never use
the range to warm or heat a room. Such use can
damage the range.
DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS. A
buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst
DURING COOKING, set the burner control so that the
flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
USE CAUTION to ensure that drafts like those from
forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable materials
toward the flames or push the flames so that they
extend beyond the edges of the pot.
ALWAYS use utensils that have flat bottoms, large
enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized
utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing. It is also a waste of gas.
TO MINIMIZE BURNS, ignition of flammable materials
and unintentional spills, position handles of utensil
inward so that it does not extend over adjacent work
areas, cooking areas or the edge of the range.
HOLD THE HANDLE of the pan to prevent movement of
the utensil when stirring food.
DO NOT USE the BBQ grill top section for cooking
excessively fatty meats or products that promote flare-
ups.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits to
collect. Clean after each use.
KEEP BURNER PORTS CLEAN. This is essential for
proper lighting and maintenance of the burners. It is
necessary to clean the burner ports when there is a boil
over or when the burner does not light though the
electronic igniters click.
CLEAN THE RANGE-TOP SECTION WITH CAUTION.
Avoid steam bums; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow
directions• provided by the cleaner manufacturer.
BE SURE ALL RANGE CONTROLS ARE TURNED
OFF and the range is cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner on or around the range. The chemical
that produces the spraying action could, in the presence
of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Only an
authorized service technician should perform Service.
Technicians must disconnect the power supply before
servicing this unit.
CLEAN THE VENTILATOR HOOD and filters above the
range frequently so grease deposits from cooking
vapors do not accumulate on them.
IN CASE OF FIRE or when intentionally using "flaming"
liquor or other spirits on the range, follow hood
manufacturer's instructions.
INSTALL A SMOKE DETECTOR in or near the kitchen.
TURN THE KNOB CONTROL TO OFF if a burner goes
out and gas escapes. Open a window or door. DO NOT
attempt to use the range until the gas has had time to
dissipate.
When using the oven: DO NOT touch the interior
surfaces of the oven or the exterior area immediately
surrounding the door. Interior oven surfaces become
hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector, which
deflects heat away from the range and the trim on the
top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when
the oven is in use.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of tipping of the
appliance, it must be secured by a properly installed
anti-tip device. Verify that the anti -tip device
is engaged per installation instructions (note:
anti-tip device is required on all gas ranges.)
