Bosch Appliances HGS7282UC manual Burn Prevention, Child Safety, Cleaning Safety

Safety

• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.

• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks.

	If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and,
	therefore, a faint smell. 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 this must be done by a qualified service technician. See “WHAT
	TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:” on page 2.
	• During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually.
Burn Prevention	• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface
	units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
	may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
	or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units
	or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
	areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
	• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
	OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
	Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
	after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materi-
	als contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
	sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
	enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-
	faces near these openings and oven doors.
	• Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the
	door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape. Keep
	your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets
	near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
	cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes.
	Do not leave open doors unattended.
	• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
	cause the container to burst and cause injury.
	• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must
	be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.
	• Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e.
	Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
	• Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub-
	bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
	Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
	• Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
Child Safety	• When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal respon-
	sibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in
	safe practices by qualified persons.
	• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appli-
	ance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage
	the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
	• Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an
	adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area
	where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
	vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
	• CAUTION - Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance,
	in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an
	appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety	• IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic
	Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of sub-
	stances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
	tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
	to such substances.
