Always keep combustible wall coverings or curtains etc. a safe distance away from your range.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the range while it is in use.
Do not store or use combustible materials, or flammable liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
Take great care when heating fats and oils, as they will ignite if they get too hot.
Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
Never leave a deep fry pan unattended. Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should be only a maximum of one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fry pan. Wait until the fat is cool.
When an oven is on, do not use the top of the flue (the holes along the back of the range) for warming plates, dishes, drying dish towels or softening butter.
When using an electrical appliance near the cooktop, be sure that the cord of the appliance does not come into contact with the cooktop.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
Make sure that your kitchen is well ventilated at all times. Use extractor fans or hoods when installed.
The range is designed for cooking foods only and must not be used for any other purpose.
The oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen: not only does this waste fuel but the control knobs may become overheated.
When the oven is on DO NOT leave the oven door open for longer than necessary.
The specification of this range should not be altered. This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.
When the range is not in use ensure that the control knobs are in the off position.
