Warnings
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.
• 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 rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable 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 flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an
appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave
plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns.
DO NOT
pour spirits
over hot foods.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
• Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully.
DO NOT
use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it.
DO NOT
allow grease to collect around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
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.
• DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small
children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of
the appliance.
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room
to prevent potential hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, DO NOT use the rangetop as a storage area for
food or cooking utensils.
WARNING

Warnings
Getting Started
Cooking Safety
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is
provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. 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 off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.
•
ALWAYS
adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame 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.
• 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 flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently
to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off.
• NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or
long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles.
• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames 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 effective ventilation (such as increasing
the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
Utensil Safety
• Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loosehandled 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 filled 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 flammable 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.
• This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not
specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection
systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result
in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
• The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting may cause
scorching of adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is based on safety considerations.
Cleaning Safety
• Turn off 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 sufficient time to cool.
• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some
cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
