iMPORTANT
• Storage in or on Appliance--Flammable
materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners
or in the drawer (if equipped).
This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels,
as well asflammable 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use proper pan size--Adjust
flame size
so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersize utensils will exposed a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
Do not leave children
alone--Children
should not be
left alone or unattended
in the area where appliance
is in use, They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface
burners and oven heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface burners
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces
facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and window.
Wear proper apparel--Loose-fitting
or hanging
garments
should never be worn while using the
appliance.
Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
Do not use stove top grills on the burner
grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and
can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your
health.
Electronic controllers
can be damaged
by
cold temperatures.
When you use your appliance
for the
first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature
above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting
it to the power supply.
IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USING
YOUR
COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls
each surface heating
unit.
Always turn the knob to the LITEposition when igniting
the burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust
the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires--Smother
the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely,
Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn
off the main
gas shutoff
valve.
Use only dry potholders--Moist
or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened
food containers--Build-up
of
pressure may cause container
to burst and result in
injury.
* Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do
not attempt
to operate
the oven
during
a power
failure.
If the power
fails,
always
turn
the ovens
off.
If the ovens are not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate
again. Food left
unattended
could catch fire or spoil.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the surface burner to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface burner will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners--To
reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle
of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned
inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface
burners.
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat
settings--Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Protective
liners--Do
not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock
or fire or short circuit.
