CAUTION: AVOID STORING ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN IN ANY CABINETS INSTALLED ABOVE THE RANGE TO PREVENT THE RANGE BEING USED TO OBTAIN CABINET ACCESS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY.
Gas Odours
If a gas odour is apparent with the pilot and main burner alight, turn off the gas supply to the range. Call your installer or local gas company to ensure that the gas pipework is sound.
WARNING: NEVER USE A MATCH OR NAKED FLAME TO LOCATE A GAS LEAK.
Safety Precautions and Hints
Temperatures in cabinet storage spaces above the range may be unsafe for storage of some types of materials such as volatile liquids or aerosol sprays which can explode.
Ensure spare storage cabinets are capable of supporting the heavy weight of cooking utensils in the range.
The maximum depth of any cabinets installed above the top of the range must not exceed 330mm (13in).
Grease
WARNING: HOT GREASE IS FLAMMABLE.
Wipe off any grease deposits on the range top and front. Do not leave containers of cooking fat around the range.
In the event of a grease fire, do not remove the pan, but cover the pan to extinguish the flame. WARNING: DO NOT DOUSE FLAME WITH WATER.
Use a dry chemical type fire extinguisher if available, or sprinkle heavily with baking soda.
Range Cooking Safety Precautions and Hints
Never reach directly into a hot oven to add or remove cooking utensils. Instead, pull the oven grid shelf out to its maximum projection and load or remove utensils.
Oven gloves will be necessary on utensils removal.
Although the range itself provides gentle radiation and convected warm air currents, it may not be used for increased space heating by exposing the hotplate with the insulating covers permanently raised or the oven doors left open. This instruction is based on safety considerations where accidents could occur, as does the use of ovens for storage space.
WARNIN G: DO NOT HEAT A CLOSED GLASS OR METAL CONTAINER IN THE OVEN.
General Safety Precautions and Hints for Cooking Utensils
1. Ensure utensils have flat machined bases to obtain perfect contact with the hotplate.
