Safety
• If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.
• If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks.
| If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, |
| therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a |
| Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON |
| • position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See “WHAT |
| TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:” on page 2. |
| • During a power failure, only the cooktop burners can be lit manually. |
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 surface 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 materi- |
| als 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. |
Child Safety | • When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal respon- |
| sibility 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 appli- |
| ance, 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 cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an |
| appliance to reach items could be seriously injured. |
Cleaning Safety | • IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic |
| Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of sub- |
| stances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproduc- |
| tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure |
| to such substances. |
