SECTION ONE: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety Precautions

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

WARNING

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.

When using the cooktop: DO NOT

TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SUR- ROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.

Never leave the range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See Inside Front Cover regarding gas leaks.

Only certain types of glass, heat- proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

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.

Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one

burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products.

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 undersized utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing.

Do not use flammable cleaners to clean the range.

To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's 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 products which promote flare-ups.

The optional cutting board accessory must be removed before operating the griddle 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 performance 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 igniters activate. See Page 35.

WARNING

After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation.

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 surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner man- ufacturer.

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

When using the oven: DO NOT TOUCH THE INFRARED BURNERS, THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR THE EXTERIOR AREA IM- MEDIATELY SURROUNDING 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 position while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the potholders contact the infrared burner.

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

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan, oven racks and any other utensils, and excess spillage.
