Warnings
• NEVER leave a surface cooking
operation unattended especially when
using high heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up
greasy spills as soon as possible.
•DO NOT use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• DO NOT heat unopened food
containers, build up of pressure may
cause the container to explode and
result in injury.
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
NEVER be used as potholders because
they can trail across hot surface burners
and ignite or get caught on appliance
parts.
• ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat
used for deep fat frying cool before
attempting to move or handle.
• DO NOT let cooking grease or other
ammable materials accumulate in
or near the appliance, hood or vent
fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent
grease from accumulating on hood or
lter. When aming foods under the
hood, turn the fan o.
• NEVER wear garments made of
ammable material or loose tting or
long-sleeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil
handles. DO NOT drape towels or
materials on oven door handles.These
items could ignite and cause burns.
• ALWAY Splace oven racks in the
desired positions while oven is cool.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove
food, using dry, sturdy pot-holders.
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to
add or remove food. If a rack must be
moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.
• ALWAYS turn the oven o at the end of
cooking.
• Use care when opening the oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
moving or replacing food.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover
oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, re, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow
food manufacturer’s instructions.
If a plastic frozen food container and/or
its cover distorts, warps, or is other wise
damaged during cooking, immediately
discard the food and its container. The
food could be contaminated.
• If you are “aming” liquor or other
spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE
FAN OFF. The draft could cause the
ames to spread out of control.
• Once the unit has been installed as
outlined in the Installation Instructions,
it is important that the fresh air
supply is not obstructed.The use of a
gas cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure
that the kitchen is well-ventilated.
Keep natural venting holes open or
install a mechanical ventilation device.
Prolonged or intensive use of the
appliance may call for additional (such
as opening a window) or more eective
ventilation (such as increasing the level
of a mechanical ventilation if present).
Utensil Safety
• Use pans with at bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool.
Avoid using unstable, warped, easily
tipped or loose-handled pans. Also
avoid using pans, especially small pans,
with heavy handles as they could be
unstable and easily tip. Pans that are
heavy to move when lled with food
may also be hazardous.
• Be sure utensil is large enough to
properly contain food and avoid
boilovers. Pan size is particularly
important in deep fat frying. Be sure
pan will accommodate the volume of
food that is to be added as well as the
bubble action of fat.
• To minimize burns, ignition of
ammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil,
DO NOT extend handles over adjacent
surface burners. ALWAY Sturn pan
handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where
they are easily hit or reached by small
children.
• NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could
damage the utensil and the appliance.
• Follow the manufacturer’s directions
when using oven cooking bags.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are
suitable for rangetop surface or oven
usage without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using
