IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION
6
- ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED. It is the customer’s responsibility:
a) To contact a qualified electrical installer.
b) To ensure that the electrical system is adequate and in conformance with the national ANSI/NFPA 70
Electrical Code – Latest Edition; or the Canadian Electrical Code, C22.11 – 1982 and C22.2 No. 61 (or
latest edition) and all local codes and ordinances.
- Always check that the control knobs are in the “zero” (off) position when you finish using the cooker.
- Do not put pans without a perfectly smooth and flat bottom on the hob. NEVER USE THE COOKING
HOB AS A WORK SURFACE.
- WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE
SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. REFER TO THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL.
- Use Proper Pan Size – The range is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
- Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
- Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units.
CAUTION: In case of a crack being detected in the glazed ceramic hob, immediately disconnect from
mains and contact the nearest servicing centre.
- USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance, unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
- Never use any part of the range or oven for storage. Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic
items may melt or ignite.
- Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabric
are quite flammable and may catch on fire.
- DO NOT USE ALLUMINUM FOIL TO LINE ANY PART OF OVEN OR RANGE. Use of a foil liner
could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking
performance and can damage the finish of the oven of the range.
- Never leave the range unattended when using high power settings. Boilover cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite.
IMPORTANT: After a spill or boilover, turn off the heating zone and clean around it. After cleaning,
check for proper operation.
- Only certain type of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for range use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use
only on low or medium heat settings, according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.
- DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS: A buildup of pressure may cause the containers
to burst.
- DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE CLEANERS TO CLEAN THE RANGE.
- Do not clean, rub, damage or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking
and while self cleaning the oven. If the gasket becomes damaged of has excessive food spillage,
replace the door gasket.
