Safety

 

• Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda.

 

 

Never use water on cooking fires.

 

• Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop

 

 

fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

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 sur-

 

 

face 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 mate-

 

 

rials 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.

 

• Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy,

 

 

bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a

 

 

risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only

 

 

small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

Child Safety

• When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal

 

 

responsibility 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

 

 

appliance, 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 cabi-

 

 

 

nets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an

 

 

 

appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
