IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulat-
ing on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood
turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or
loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Utensil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,
easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they
could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to
move when filled with food may also be hazardous.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume
of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of
fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent surface burners. Always
turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appli-
ance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop usage without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in this
guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units or
stovetop grills. The use of devices or accessories that are
not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems,
and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Electrical Connection
Appliances which require electrical power
are equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug which must be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-
hole 120 volt electrical outlet.
Always disconnect power to appliance
before servicing.
The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against
shock hazards. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THIRD
GROUNDING PRONG FROM POWER CORD PLUG.
If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet
is encountered, it is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a
properly grounded three-hole electrical outlet.
Important Safety Notice
and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burn-
ing of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the
listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and
soot, due primarily to the incomplete combustion of
natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly ad-
justed burners will minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by
properly venting the burners to the outdoors.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS: Never
keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes
from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive
respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-
cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and
overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.
Save These Instructions for
Future Reference
Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
