Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or too close
to, any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Be certain to use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause
burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let
pot holders touch 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 to line any part of the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could
result in a fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an
excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it.This trapped heat can upset the
cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop parts.
WARNING: This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the oven or
cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or oven
parts.
When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate
surrounding area.
Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
When using the oven: Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven, the exterior area
immediately surrounding the door or the back trim.
The surfaces directly above the
oven door may be hot if the oven has been operated with the door open, or if something has
prevented the door from sealing.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered
by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, unburned gas will escape into the room. See
page 1.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use.
This type of utensil may break with
sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium flames settings according to the
manufacturer’s directions.
Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up 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.This could heat and/or melt the
handles.
Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use
of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spill overs, position handles
of
utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge
of the cooktop.
