Safety Practices to Avoid Personal Injury

PRECAUTIONS

Warning: The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety consider- ations, never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or oven parts.

When using the cooktop: DO

NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDI- ATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may

become hot enough to cause burns.

Never leave the cooktop unat-

tended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ig- nite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, un- burned gas will escape into the room. See Inside Front Cover re- garding gas leaks.

Only certain types of glass, heat-proofglass-ceramic, ce- ramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop use. This type of utensil may break with sudden tempera- ture changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s direc- tions.

Do not heat unopened food

containers; a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.

Always use utensils that have flat bottoms, large enough to cover the burner. The use of un- dersized utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.

To minimize burns, ignition of flam- mable materials and unintentional spillovers, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop.

Hold the handle of the pan to

prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill section.

Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or prod- ucts which promote flare-ups.

The optional cutting board ac- cessory must be removed be- fore operating the grill burner beneath or burners adjacent to it.

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 perfor- mance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic ig- niters click. See page 12.

Clean the cooktop with cau- tion. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any type of aero- sol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that pro- duces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

When using the oven: DO NOT

TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR THE EXTERIOR AREA IMMEDIATELY SURROUND- ING THE DOOR. Interior oven surfaces become hot enough to cause burns. The heat deflector, which deflects heat away from the cooktop and the trim on the top and sides of the oven door, will also be hot when the oven is in use.

Place oven racks in desired po-

sition while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholders con- tact the hot infrared burner.

Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replac- ing foods.

Do not rub, damage, move or

remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking.

Be careful not to damage the screen covering the infra-red broiler of the gas oven. If the screen is damaged, air can enter the distribution box behind the screen, possibly resulting in an explosion.

In the event that personal clothing catches fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.
