DO NOT lift the range by the oven door handles!
DO NOT remove the griddle and grill sections!
WARNING!
This appliance is for cooking! Based on safety
considerations, never use the cooktop to warm
or heat a room. Such use can damage the
cooktop and may result in personal injury.
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 cooktop.
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 COOKTOP 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 COOKTOP CONTROLS ARE
TURNED OFF and the cooktop is cool before
using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around
the top section. The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode. Only a factory-
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.
