Important Safety Information
DANGER
• Donotstoreitemsofinteresttochildreninthecabinets
above the appliance or on the back splash of a range.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. Do not allow children to
climb or play around the appliance. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could
be seriously injured.
• DONOTTOUCHTHECOOKINGSURFACE,THE
BURNERS,GRATES,ORANYAREASNEARTHEM.
Surface burners or appliance may be hot even though
amesarenotvisible.Areasnearsurfaceburnersor
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
otherammablematerialstouchtheseareasuntilthey
have had sufcient time to cool.
• Donotwearloose-ttingorhanginggarmentswhile
using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other
ammablematerialscontacthotsurfaces.
• Smothergreasereswithapanlid,orusebakingsoda,
a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• UseanextinguisherONLYif:
- You know you have a Class A, B or C extinguisher, and
you already know how to operate it.
- The re is small and contained in the area where it
is started.
-Theredepartmentisbeing/hasbeencalled.
- You can ght the re with your back to an exit.
• Whenheatingfatorgrease,watchitclosely.Fator
grease may catch re if allowed to become too hot.
• Useonlydrypotholders.Moistordamppotholderson
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
letpotholderstouchhotheatingelements,theameor
burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead
of a potholder.
• Donotheatunopenedfoodcontainers.Buildupof
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
• Stepping,leaningorsittingonthisappliancecanresultin
serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance.
• Neverusethisapplianceasaspaceheatertoheator
warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
• Knowwhichknobcontrolswhichsurfaceburner.Visually
checkthattheburnerhaslit.Thenadjusttheamesoit
doesnotextendbeyondtheedgeofthepot/pan.
• Cleantheapplianceregularlytokeepallpartsfreeof
grease that could catch re. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease lters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or lter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch re. When cooking food,
turnthehoodfanon.Refertohoodmanufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
•
Pot/panhandlesshouldbeturnedinwardandnot
extend over adjacent surface burners. To reduce the
riskofburns,ignitionofammablematerials,and
spillageduetounintentionalcontactwiththepot/pan,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
• Neverleavesurfaceburnersunattendedathighheat
settings. Boilovers cause smoke and greasy spillovers
that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Donotusealuminumfoiltolineanypartofthe
appliance. Use aluminum foil only to cover food during
cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result
in risk of electric shock or re.
• Onlycertaintypesofglass,glass/ceramic,ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
appliance service without breaking due to the sudden
changeintemperature.Checkthemanufacturer’s
recommendations for appliance use.
• Donotusedecorativesurfaceburnercovers.Ifa
burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able
to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to
the range or burners because the covers may cause
overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and
cause combustion problems.
• Alwaysuseproperamesize.Adjustamesizesoit
doesnotextendbeyondtheedgeofthepot/pan.The
useofundersizedpots/panswillexposeaportionofthe
burnerametodirectcontactandmayresultinignition
ofclothing.Properrelationshipofpot/pantoamewill
also improve efciency.
• Topburneramesizeshouldbeadjustedsoitdoesnot
