SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING:
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and
clean around the burner and burner ports. After
cleaning, check for proper operation.
Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not
use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner
manufacturer.
Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or
around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or
cause metal parts to corrode.
When using the oven: DO NOT TOUCH THE INFRARED
BURNER, THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN
OR THE EXTERIOR AREA IMMEDIATELY
SURROUNDING THE DOOR. Interior oven surfaces
become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector,
which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on
the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when
the oven is in use.
Place oven racks in desired position while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not
let the potholders contact the infrared burner.
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing foods.
Do not clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door
gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If the
gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food
particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air.
For safety reasons and to avoid equipment damage, never
sit, stand, or lean on the oven door.
Service should only be done by authorized
technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this unit.
Listen to be sure the cooling blower runs whenever the
oven controls are set in broil or bake modes (after
Preheating – See "Automatic operation of the cooling
blower" on page 24). If the fan does not operate, do not use
the oven. Call an authorized service center for service.

To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be
prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and
filters.
In case of fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other
spirits on the range's cooktop, follow hood manufacturer's
instructions.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates
at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the
alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small
quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door
carefully.
WARNING:
To avoid possible burn or fire hazard, a
backguard designed specifically for this range
must be installed whenever the range is used.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel can generate some by-
products which are on the list. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by:
1. Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2. Operating the unit according to the instructions in this
manual.
Do not store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It
is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking
food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or
cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in
injury.
