Use and Care Manual

15. DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED CONTAINERS OR FOOD ON SURFACE BURNERS OR IN THE
OVEN. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in serious personal harm and/or
damage to the range.
16. ALUMINUM FOIL WHEN USED IMPROPERLY IS A CAUSE OF MANY RANGE PROBLEMS.
See the oven and broiler sections of this book for instructions for proper use.
17. GREASE IS FLAMMABLE AND SHOULD BE HANDLED CAREFULLY. Avoid letting grease de-
posits collect around the range or in vent fans. Let quantities of hot fat, a pan of deep fat for example, cool
before attempting to move it. If a grease fire should occur in a pan, put out the flame by placing a lid on
the pan. DO NOT throw water on a grease fire. Do not turn on the vent hood. Use a dry chemical or foam
type fire extinguisher. If a fire should occur in the oven or broiler, turn off the oven, close the oven door
and broiler door to allow the food or grease to burn itself out in the oven. If smoke or fire persist, call you
local fire department.
18. AVOID THE USE OF AEROSOL SPRAYS NEAR A RANGE AS MOST ARE FLAMMABLE.
19. NEVER LEAVE SURFACE BURNERS UNATTENDED AT HIGH OR MEDIUM FLAME
SETTINGS. Adjust top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
20. DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN DURING OR IMMEDIATELY.
AFTER USE. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact burners. Although these surfaces
may be dark in color they can still be hot enough to burn. Other areas of the range can become hot
enough to cause burns, such as vent openings, main top, window, oven door, broiler door and oven racks.
22. DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OR COMBUSTION OR VENTILATION AIR.
23. BE SURE ALL PACKING MATERIALS ARE REMOVED FROM THE RANGE before operating
it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.
24. LEAK TESTING OF THE APPLIANCE SHALL BE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
25. THIS RANGE IS NOT TO BE INSTALLED WITH OVERHEAD RANGE HOODS WHICH
OPERATE BY BLOWING A DOWNWARD AIRFLOW OR AIR CURTAIN ONTO THE
RANGE. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with your
gas cooking appliance resulting in personal injury or unintended operations.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
