9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before
attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits
collect. Clean after each use.
For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep
t
he igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean the ports
when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light
even though the electronic igniters activate.
Clean the appliance with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO
NO
T use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the appliance
while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the
cleaner manufacturer.
WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using
caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the
burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
WARNING
DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air
through the ventilation openings. The vent is
locate
d at the back of the appliance. The
vent needs to be unobstructed and open to
provide necessary airflow that is important
for proper performance.
DO NOT touch ven
t area while the appliance is on and for
several minutes after the appliance is off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding areas become hot enough to
cause burns. Allow appliance sufficient time to cool before
touching or cleaning vent areas.
DO NOT position plastic
or other heat-sensitive items on
or near the vent. These items could melt or ignite.
To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be
prevented by frequently cleaning the appliance.
In case of fire or when intentionally
“flaming” liquor or
other spirits on the rangetop, follow manufacturer’s
instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high
alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon). Alcohol
evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning
as the alcohol vapors may catch fire. Use only small
quantities of alcohol in foods.
Be sure all controls are turned off and the appliance is cool
be
fore using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the
appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action
could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts
to corrode.
DO NOT obstruct the flow
of combustion or ventilation
air.
Service should only be done
by authorized service
providers. Service providers must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this unit.
DO NOT
use the grill plate accessory for cooking
excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-
ups.
When cooking fatty or oily foods on burners,
the grill, or
the griddle, adjacent gas burners can ignite airborne
fumes. Use caution to avoid burns.
DO NOT
store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors,
flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance.
It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking
food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or
cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in
injury.
WARNING
This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation
system that directs air in a downward direction toward the
range. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition
and combustion problems with the appliance resulting in
personal injury, property damage, or unintended
operation. Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards
do not have any restriction.
An air curtain or other over
head range hood, which
operates by blowing a downward airflow onto a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with a gas range unless
the hood and range have been designed and tested in
accordance with the Standard for Domestic Gas Ranges,
ANSI Z21.1 • CSA 1.1, and listed by an independent
testing laboratory for combination use.
IMPORTANT: There is a possibility to discolor the back
wall under certain cooking conditions.
