IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

•DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

•Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Clean drip trays and liners after every use.

•If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight.

Finding a gas leak is NOT a do-it-yourself procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

•If by some chance a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had time to dissipate. Follow the instructions in What to do if You Smell Gas.

•Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in a fire hazard or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop.

SURFACE COOKING

•Do not heat unopened food containers; a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

•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. Excessive flame is hazardous. The high BTU burners can easily melt cookware handles.

•Hold the handle of the pan, using a dry pot holder, to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

•Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

•Always use the LITE position when igniting the surface burners and make sure the burners have ignited, including the center simmer flame.

6

•Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

If the burner flames are smothered by a severe boilover which affects the ignitor, unburned gas will escape into the room.

•Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder.

•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

•Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the top and bottom of the oven door, drip trays, drip tray handle areas, backgaurd vent area and area immediately surrounding the top burners (burner pans).
