WARNING!

This appliance is for cooking! Based on safety considerations, never use the range to warm or heat a room. Such use can damage the range.

COOKING SAFETY:

DO NOT use aluminum foil as a shield against food spills or drippings around the burners or control panel area. This could obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilated air. This can damage the finish of the range.

DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES

OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREAS adjacent to the burners. When in use these areas may become hot enough to cause burns.

NEVER leave the range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil-overs cause smoking and greasy spills that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See inside front cover regarding gas leaks.

UTENSIL SAFETY:

ONLY certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for range use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions.

DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS. A buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst.

DURING COOKING, set the burner control so

that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.

USE CAUTION to ensure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans do not blow flammable materials toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot.

TO MINIMIZE BURNS, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spills, position handles of utensil inward so that it does not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas or the edge of the range.

HOLD THE HANDLE of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring food.

BBQ SAFETY:

DO NOT USE the BBQ top section for cooking excessively fatty meats or products that promote flare- ups.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease to cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits to collect. Clean after each use.

KEEP BURNER PORTS CLEAN. This is essential for proper lighting and maintenance of the burners. It is necessary to clean the burner ports when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light though the electronic igniters click.

CLEANING SAFETY:

CLEAN THE RANGE-TOP SECTION WITH CAUTION. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

BE SURE ALL RANGE CONTROLS ARE TURNED OFF and the range is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the range. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Only an authorized service technician should perform Service. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.

VENTILATION SAFETY:

CLEAN THE VENTILATOR HOOD and filters above the range frequently so grease deposits from cooking vapors do not accumulate on them.

IN CASE OF FIRE or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the range, follow hood manufacturer’s instructions.

INSTALL A SMOKE DETECTOR in or near the kitchen.
