Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Smother any flames with a lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.
Use baking soda or a foam extinguisher to extinguish flaming grease. Be careful to avoid getting burned.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard, plastic and cloth away from the burners and other hot surfaces. Do not place
such items in the oven. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot surfaces or gas burners.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range. Do not allow clothing to come into contact with the interior of the
oven or the cooktop and surrounding areas during and immediately after use.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over the range.
If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains as window treatment. The curtains could blow over the cooktop and
create a fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the range unattended when using the cooktop.
When deep fat frying:
- Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the desired volume of food without overflow caused by the bubbling of the
fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer unattended.
- Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the hot fat.
- Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination of oils and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep fat frying thermometer
to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.
Do not use the oven for storage.
Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed in this manual. Keep the entire range, ventilation filters and range hoods
free of grease that could catch fire.
Do not touch the burner assembly, grates, and surrounding surfaces (including the backguard) or the interior surfaces of the
oven during use. After use, make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to cool before touching them.
Do not touch the outside surfaces of the range during the self-clean cycle. They will be hot. Venting from the oven may cause
the cooktop and backguard to become hot.
Before using glazed cookware, such as glass, ceramic or earthenware, check the manufacturer’s temperature and usage rec-
ommendations. Glazed cookware that is not designed for high heat use may crack or break, causing a spill or burn hazard.
Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching into the oven.
Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot cooktop or in the oven. The steam can cause serious burns or scalds.
Use only dry pot holders when removing food and cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot holders can cause steam burns.
Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before lighting a burner.
Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations before use to determine if a utensil
is suitable for use on a cooktop or in an oven. Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware are not suitable for use on a
cooktop. Personal injury or damage may result from the improper use of cookware.
Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper size, material and construction for the particular type of cooking being
done. Utensils need to be large enough to contain the desired quantity of food without boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans
with easy to hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that are too
heavy to lift safely.
Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position prior to removing them from the valve stems.
The cooktop should never be operated without the knobs and trim rings in place.
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the convection filter(s) installed. When the filter is not installed, the spinning
fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one hour before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can result in food poi-
soning.
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during cooking.
