IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not let a pot holder touch a hot heating element. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth as a pot holder.
Do not use your range to heat unopened food containers or to dry wet items or
clothing.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Clean vents frequently to avoid grease
buildup. See page 55. There can be slight popping sound during oven cooking.
This sound may occur during the normal oven burner cycling, when the oven
burner flame is extinguished.
Never use your range for any purposes but cooking. Doing so could result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and/or overheating of the oven.
Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using this appliance.
DO NOT STORE OR USE combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable
vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this appliance. See “WHAT TO DO IF YOU
SMELL GAS” under the Gas Warnings.
Do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning the cooktop. This could
leak down into the range gas and electrical systems creating a risk of electrical
shock or high levels of Carbon Monoxide, due to corrosion of the gas valves or
ports.
Do not use water on a grease fire. Water might cause a grease fire to explode,
spreading the fire and creating a larger fire and health hazard. To put out a
grease fire, turn o the heat source and smother the fire with tight-fitting lid or
use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause
smoke, and greasy spillovers could ignite.
Do not use a flame to check for gas leaks. Instead, use a brush to spread a
soapy water mixture around the area you are checking. If there is a gas leak,
you will see small bubbles in the soapy water mixture at the point of the leak.
Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on
the cooktop. Damage or fire could occur if the cooktop is hot.
Do not attempt to operate this appliance if it is damaged, malfunctioning, or
has missing or broken parts.
Never place plastic, paper, or other items that could melt or burn near the oven
vents or any of the surface burners.
If the self-clean mode malfunctions, turn the oven o and disconnect the power
supply. Refer to pages 77 and 78 to contact a qualified service technician.
There can be slight popping sound during oven cooking.
