Vent

appliance is on and for several minutes

 

 

 

 

 

 

after the appliance is off. Some parts of the

 

 

 

vent and surrounding areas become hot

 

 

 

enough to cause burns. Allow appliance

 

 

 

sufficient time to cool before touching or

 

 

 

cleaning vent areas.

 

 

 

DO NOT position plastic or other heat-

 

 

 

sensitive items on or near the vent. These

Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.

To avoid a fire hazard, grease accumulation must be prevented by frequently cleaning the ventilation hood and filters.

In case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the rangetop, follow manufacturer’s instructions. Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon). Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The burning of gas cooking fuel can generate some by- products which are on the list. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:

1.Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.

2.Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.

DO NOT store or use corrosive chemicals, vapors, flammables, or nonfood products in or near this appliance. It is specifically designed for use when heating or cooking food. The use of corrosive chemicals while heating or cleaning will damage the appliance and could result in injury.

WARNING:

This appliance should not be installed with a ventilation system that directs air in a downward direction toward the range. This type of ventilation system may cause ignition and combustion problems with the appliance resulting in personal injury, property damage, or unintended operation. Ventilating systems that direct the air upwards do not have any restriction.
