• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
or nonfood products in this appliance. This type of
appliance is specifically designed to heat or cook. It is
not designed for industrial or laboratory use. The use of

the appliance.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,

WARNING
• In the event of a grease fire SMOTHER FLAMES with a
close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then
turn off the gas burner.
• BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels
on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be burned.
• ALWAYS have a working SMOKE DETECTOR near the
kitchen.
• LEAVE THE HOOD VENTILATOR ON when flambéing
food.
• NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating the oven.
To reduce the risk of burn injuries during
cooktop use, observe the following:
• Children or pets should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where appliances are in use.
• Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.
• Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
• When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER
GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.
• Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
• Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy spillovers may
ignite. A spill on a burner can smother all or part of the
flame or hinder spark ignition. If a boilover occurs, turn
off burner and check operation. If burner is operating
normally, turn it back on.
• During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air
vents do not blow flammable material toward the flames
or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges
of the pan.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge
of the cooktop.
• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging
sleeves should never be worn while cooking.
