Use & Care Manual

/ Warnings
Induction Cooking Surfaces
• Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be
hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch the
cooking area as long as the light indicating re-
sidual heat on the glass-ceramic cooktop area,
is “on”; this indicates that the temperature in the
relative area is still high.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SUR-
FACE – If cooking surface should break, cle-
aning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooking surface and create a risk
of electric shock. Contact a qualifi ed technician
immediately.
• Keep a close eye on children because they are
unlikely to see the residual heat warning lights.
The cooking zones are still very hot for some
time after use, even if they are switched off .
Make sure that children never touch them.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to to hold the food
while cooking on a glass-ceramic cooktop area.
• Never place pan with bottoms which are not
perfectly fl at and smooth on the cooktop area.
• If you drop a heavy pot on your cooktop area it
will not break. On the contrary, if a hard object,
such as the salt shaker or the spice bottle strikes
the edge or the corner of the cooktop area, the
cooktop area may break.
• Never use the glass-ceramic cooktop area as
support surface.
• Only use cleaning products made specifi cally
for ceramic glass cooking surfaces.
Metal items such as cutlery or lids must ne-
ver be placed on the surface of the cooktop
area since they may become hot.
Oven Heating Elements
• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas
or interior surfaces of oven.
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near burners and
interior surfaces of an oven may become hot
enough to cause burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let
clothing or other fl ammable materials contact
heating elements, areas near elements, or in-
terior surfaces of oven until they have had suf-
fi cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven
may become hot enough to cause burns, such
as the oven vent opening, the surface near the
vent opening, and the oven door window.
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 suffi cient time to cool.
• Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam
burns; DO NOT use a wet sponge or cloth to
clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot sur-
face. Follow directions provided by the cleaner
manufacturer.
• DO NOT clean, rub, damage, move or remove
the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal
during baking. If the gasket becomes worn or
excessively soiled with food particles, replace
gasket to assure a tight seal.
Power failure warning
Due to safety considerations and the possibility of
personal injury in attempting to light and extingui-
sh the oven burners, the grill and the oven burner
should not be used during a power failure. The
oven control knob should always remain in the
“OFF” position during a power failure.
WARNING!
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm the room. Doing somay result in carbon
monoxid poisoning and overheating of the oven
Room ventilation
An exhaust fan may be used with the appliance;
in each case it shall be installed in conformity
with the appropriate national and local standards.
Exhaust hood operation may aff ect other vented
appliances; in each case it shall be installed in
conformity with the appropriate national and local
standards.
Electrical shock hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL
before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in
burns or electrical shock.
DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp
cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb
break, disconnect power to the appliance before
removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.
WARNING!
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air fl ow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxi-
de poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fi re hazard.
Burn hazard
The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot.
DO NOT touch the oven door glass!
