| 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. | ||
|
| 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 | |
|
| 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. |
