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 ammable vapors and materials.
• If the appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
NEVER leave any items on the top. The hot air from the
vent may ignite 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 ammable. 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 alighted 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.
DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads,
mushrooms, etc; re hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the
ame. Extinguish ame then turn on hood to remove smoke and
odor.
• Worktop: Smother re or ame in a pan with a lid or cookie
sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a aming pan.
• Oven: Smother re or ame by closing the oven door. DO
NOT use water on grease res. Use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother re or ame.
• Grease is ammable and should be handled carefully. DO NOT
use water on grease res. 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.
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
in frequently 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 ame.
• ALWAYS adjust surface burner ame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive 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 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 ammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean
hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or lter.
When aming foods under the hood, turn the fan off.
• NEVER wear garments made of ammable material or loose
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.
• ALWAY Splace oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using
dry, sturdy pot-holders.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 off at the end of cooking.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before moving or replacing food.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven
bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, re, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food
manufacturer’s instructions.
If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts,
warps, or is other wise damaged during cooking, immediately
discard the food and its container.
