To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

•Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.

•Never let clothing, potholders, or other ﬂ ammable materials come in contact with or too close to any element, top burner or burner grate until it has cooled.

•If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.

•Never leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite ﬂ ammable 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 ﬂ ammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

In Case of Fire

Turn o appliance and ventilation hood to avoid spreading the ﬂ ame. Extinguish ﬂ ame then turn

•Cooktop: Smother ﬁ re or ﬂ ame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

•NEVER pick up or move a ﬂ aming pan.

•Oven: Smother ﬁ re or ﬂ ame by closing the oven door. DO NOT use water on grease ﬁ res. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher to smother ﬁ re or ﬂ ame, if available, a

multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extin- guisher.on hood to remove smoke and odor.

Child Safety

•NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot.

•NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned.

•CAUTION do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the range or on the backguard of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach those items could be seriously injured.

/ Warnings

Cooking Safety

•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 e ective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).

•NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, ﬁ re, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

•To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

•ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner o before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner ﬂ ame.

•ALWAYS adjust surface burner ﬂ ame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive ﬂ ame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. This is based on safety considerations.

•NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a 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.

•ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

•NEVER wear garments made of ﬂ ammable material or loose ﬁ 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.

•ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired posi-

tions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pothol-

•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.

•DO NOT cook directly on the oven bottom. This could result in damage to your appliance.

Always use the oven racks when cooking in the oven.ders.

Do not connect any appliances to the plugs above or near to the induction cooktop; connection cable insulation can melt if in contact with heat, and this may result in an injury and a property damage.

Recommended Utensils

•Use pans with ﬂ at bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-han- dled 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 ﬁ 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 ﬂ ammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn 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 glass.

/ Warnings

Induction Cooking Surfaces

•Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch the cooking area as long as the light indicating residual heat on the glass-ceramic cooktop area, is “on”; this indicates that the temperature in the relative area is still high.

•DO NOTCOOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE – If cooking surface should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooking surface and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualiﬁ ed technician immediately.

•Keep a close eye on children because they are unlikely to see the residual heat warning lights. The cooking zones are still very hot for some time after use, even if they are switched o . Make sure that children never touch them.

•NEVER use aluminum foil to to hold the food while cooking on a glass-ceramic cooktop area.

•Never place pan with bottoms which are not perfectly ﬂ at and smooth on the cooktop area.

•If you drop a heavy pot on your cooktop area it will not break. On the contrary, if a hard object, suchasthesaltshakerorthespicebottlestrikes the edge or the corner of the cooktop area, the cooktop area may break.

•Never use the glass-ceramic cooktop area as support surface.

•Only use cleaning products made speciﬁ cally for ceramic glass cooking surfaces.

Metal items such as cutlery or lids must never be placed on the surface of the cooktop area since they may become hot.

Oven Heating Elements

•NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or interior surfaces of oven.

•Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near burners 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 ﬂ ammable materials contact heating elements, areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had suf- ﬁ cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the oven door window.

Cleaning Safety

•Turn o all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning them. DO NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding areas until they have had su cient time to cool.

•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.

•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.

Power failure warning

Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury in attempting to light and extinguish the oven burners, the grill and the oven burner should not be used during a power failure. The oven control knob should always remain in the “OFF” position during a power failure.

WARNING!

Neverusethisapplianceasaspaceheatertoheat or warm the room. Doing somay result in carbon monoxid poisoning and overheating of the oven

Room ventilation

An exhaust fan may be used with the appliance; in each case it shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards. Exhaust hood operation may a ect other vented appliances; in each case it shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards.

Electrical shock hazard

Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock.

DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.

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 blocks air ﬂ ow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a ﬁ re hazard.

Burn hazard

The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. DO NOT touch the oven door glass!
