12.Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
13.To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward toward the center of the range, and so that it does not extend over adjacent burners.
14.Surface areas near burners may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch areas near burners until they have had sufficient time to cool.
15.Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well- ventilated. Keep natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device.
Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
16.The flueway must also remain clear.
17.Storage cabinet area above the unit must be 36” (91.4 cm) and cannot project more than 13” (33.0 cm) outward from the rear wall. Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving items from such cabinets when the unit is in operation.
18.Do not attempt to operate the appliance during power failure.
19.Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.
20.Never sit, step, stand, or lean on any part of the oven, or injury may result.
21.Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
