CAUTION

DO NOT STORE ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE

OR ON THE BACKGUARD OF A RANGE - CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO

REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

This book contains many important safety messages.

Always read and obey all safety messages.

Installer: Leave these instructions with the appliance

WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the

room. Doing so may result in overheating of the oven.

WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover

an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so may result in

overheating of the oven. Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or

oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these

liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

Care to be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat probes from contacting the heater elements.

Proper Installation

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

The appliance must be electrically installed and grounded in accordance with local codes or in the

absence of such codes with the latest edition of the standard for household electric range UL858 in the

USA, and CSA C22.2 No.61 "Household cooking range” - in Canada.

Important - Save the installation instructions for the local electrical inspector’s use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

In Case of Fire

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls

off. Smother a flaming pan on a cooktop burner by covering the pan completely

with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available use a multipurpose dry chemical

or foam-type fire extinguisher

If fire is in an oven pan, smother by closing oven door. Open doors and windows

or if a hood is fitted turn it on to remove smoke and odor.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

Before using the range make sure all the packing materials have been removed. Always keep

the area around the range free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable

vapors and liquids.

If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent

curtains from blowing over the burners.

NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The hot air from an oven vent may ignite

flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to

burst. Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be

highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep plastic items away from parts of

the range that may become warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they

may burn, melt or soften if left too close to a vent or a lighted burner.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

All our cooking appliances are intended for domestic use only; i.e., not professional. In the event

of non-domestic use, the manufacturer shall not incur any liability, and the warranty shall be

considered void.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

◆Keep appliance area free and clear from combustibles.

◆It is essential that the kitchen where your appliance will be installed has excellent ventilation to the

outside for steam and combustion gases removal.

◆VENTILATING HOODS:

- Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or

filter.

- When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

◆Do not use air recycling systems.

◆“La Cornue” can provide customers with hoods in materials matching the appliance. The hoods are

sold without blower systems since every installation is unique. The individual requirements are best

handled by a professional ventilation specialist.

◆Adequate clearance must be provided for air openings into the combustion chamber.

◆Minimum clearances to combustible construction see item 1.2.

◆Adequate clearance must be provided for proper operation and servicing of the appliance.

◆Keep this manual for future reference.

◆Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where

appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may

cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or otherinjury. Teach them not to play with controls

or any other part of the range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never

allow children to play with packaging material.

◆Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the

appliance.

◆User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended

in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

◆Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

◆GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES:

oDo Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top - If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and

spillovers may penetrate the broken cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a

qualified technician immediately.

oClean Cook-Top With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot

cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if

applied to a hot surface.

◆INDUCTION COOKTOP SURFACE UNITS:

o1) Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop

surface since they can get hot.

◆Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven Gloves - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result

in burns from steam. Never let a potholder touch hot heating elements.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove. They might catch fire if they touch a hot

surface. Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using damp gloves might result in steam burns when

you touch a hot surface. Never operate the range with wet hands.

◆Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes smoking and

greasy spillovers that may ignite.

◆Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place - Absence of these pans or bowls during

cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

◆Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or

other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change

in temperature.

◆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.

◆DEEP FAT FRYERS: Use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or disposing of hot

grease.

◆Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating elements should never be immersed in

water.

◆Use Care When Opening Oven Door - Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing

food.

◆Do Not Heat Unopened food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and

result in injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

◆Do not use the oven for storage - This instruction is based on safety considerations. Flammable

materials should not be stored in an oven, the range storage drawer or near the cooktop burners. This

includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as

flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.

Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

◆Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.

◆Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack

must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

◆To avoid personal injury, do not sit, stand or lean on oven doors or drawer. Leaning, sitting or

stepping on the doors or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to

the range. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on any part of the range.

◆Wear Suitable Clothing - Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the range. Be

careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be

ignited if brought in contact with a burner flame or hot surface and may cause severe burns.

◆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.

This appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals which can cause death or serious illness

and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive

harm.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning 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 adjusted burners will

minimize incomplete combustion.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR

INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Surface units and heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units and interior surfaces of an oven may

become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact

surface units, areas near units, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have

had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause

burns - among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surface near these openings, oven

doors, etc.

IMPORTANT: 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 due to

overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful.
