heating elements may be hot even though they are dark
in color. Areas near surface burners may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch
these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven door and window.
Wear proper apparel--Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires--Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting
the burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then
adjust the flame so itdoes not extend beyond the edge
of the utensil.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact
and may result in ignitionof clothing. Proper relationship
of utensil to the surface burner will also improve
efficiency.
= When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or =
grease may catch fire ifallowed to become too hot.
in case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn
off the main gas shutoff valve.
= Use only dry potholders--Moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not =
use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
= Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is
to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure, if the power fails, always turn the oven
off. If the oven is not turns off and the power resumes, the
oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended
could catch fire or spoil.
Use proper flame size--Adjust flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersize utensils will exposed a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignitionof
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on
a sealed gas burner, itwill cause incomplete combustion
and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your
health.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for
the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners--To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The
handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking ifused as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change intemperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop
USe.
= Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will
become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the
cooktop or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
= Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
= Clean cooktop glass with caution--if a wet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce harmful fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.
