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.

INSTALLATION
BEFORE DELIVERY
In order to be able to install your range as soon as it is delivered, you must ensure that in your kitchen,
the electrical supplies are ready for it.
1. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
1.1. VENTILATION
The use of an electric cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. It is essential that the kitchen where the ”La Cornue” warming drawers will be
installed has excellent ventilation to the outside, and a fresh air inlet.
Do not use air recycling systems.
Ventilation exhaust devices can be vapor aspirators or hoods.
1.2. CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated
surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface
units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the
risk can be reduced by installing a hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
A = 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the
cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal
cabinet.
A = 24 inches minimum when bottom of wood or metal cabinet
is protected by not less than 1/4-inch-thick flame-retardant
millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel,
0.015-inch-thick stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum.
May be installed with zero clearance between adjacent combustible construction below the cooking
surface and the back and sides of the appliance.
We recommend to leave 1/2” gap on each side in order to allow enough space for moving the range.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT
Please make sure your cooker is unpacked completely before use.
Remove all tape and packaging.
Remove the accessory pack from the oven.
Check to be sure that no parts have come loose during shipping.
1. STARTING WITH THE WARMING DRAWERS
Before using the ovens for the first time, leave them on at 125°F for 60 minutes to remove the ”new”
smell.
The warming cupboard has three purposes:
- it can be used to heat up your plates to avoid a temperature difference between plate and food,
- the small volume of the drawer makes it an ideal tool for accurately cooking dishes at very low
temperatures (pates, foie gras, meringues),
- it allows you to store dishes in advance at a constant heat, making serving the food much easier.
