PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do Not Attempt

this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do Not Place

between the oven front face and

the

door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

(c) Do Not Operate

if

it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) door (bent)

(2)

hinges and latches (broken or loosened)

(3)

door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d) The oven Should Not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

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 and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to three of these substances, namely benzene, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be

minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Cooking Center

●

Have the installer show you the location of the cooking center gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

●

Have your cooking center

installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer,

accordance with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.

in

Plug your cooking center into

a 120-volt grounded outlet only.

Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a grounded three-prong accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

If you pull the cooking center out

●

before operating it, to

Be sure your cooking center is correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (Natural or LP) on which it is to be used.

Your cooking center can be converted for use on either type of gas. See Installation Instructions.

●

This cooking center is specifically designed to heat or cook food, and is not intended for laboratory or industrial use.

●

After prolonged use of the lower oven, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use.

Never install the cooking center over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

Using Your Cooking Center

Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn off burner, then smother flaming pan by covering

pan completely with well fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, with a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

●

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

. Plastic utensils—Plastic utensils designed

cooking are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the fbod and utensils could ignite. For these reasons: 1) Use microwave plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations.

2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.
