important Safety instructions

INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface burners and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.

Wear proper apparelmLoose=fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Do not use water or flour on grease fires--Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam=type extinguisher.

•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn off the main gas shutoff valve.

•Use only dry potholdersmMoist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

•Do not heat unopened food containers--Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

•Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turns off and the power resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Use proper flame size=Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersize utensils will exposed a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

Do not use stove top grills on the burner grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before

connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

•Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Always turn the knob to the LITE position when igniting the burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

•Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface burner. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the surface burner will also improve efficiency.

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.

The handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat

settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective

liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short circuit.

,,Glazed cooking utensils--Onlycertain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without

breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for

rangetop use.

•Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

,,Do not clean or operate a broken cooktopilf cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

,,Clean cooktop glass with caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
