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 fl ammable
vapors and materials.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
• NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite fl 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 fl 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 a lighted 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; fi re hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the fl ame. Extinguish fl ame then turn on hood
to remove smoke and odor.
• Cooktop: Smother fi re or fl ame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
• NEVER pick up or move a fl aming pan.
• Oven: Smother fi re or fl ame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT use water on grease fi res. Use baking soda, a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fi re
or fl ame.
• GREASE–Grease is fl ammable and should be handled
carefully. DO NOT use water on grease fi 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 infrequently 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 fl ame.
• ALWAYS adjust surface burner fl ame so that it does
not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An
excessive fl 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 a 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 NO
T let cooking grease or other fl ammable
materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood
or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease
from accumulating on hood or fi lter. When fl aming
foods under the hood, turn the fan off .
• NEVER wear garments made of fl ammable material or
loose fi 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.
