burner flames may have a slight yellowish tip.
If the flame burns with a long white tip you should call for
service.
If the flame is distorted, check that the burner head is
correctly placed over the burner.
MAKE SURE THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR TO THE RANGE IS UNOBSTRUCTED.
Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes.
Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do not use unstable pans and
position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
Make sure the flames are under the pans. It’s not safe to let
the flames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get
too hot.
Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve
efficiency.

Never leave cooktop burners unattended at high
settings. Pans boiling over can cause smoking and
greasy spills may catch on fire.

Protective liners – DO NOT use aluminum foil to
line cooktop bowls or oven bottoms. Foil liners
may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire and will
damage the enamel finish. NEVER allow aluminum
foil to contact the heating elements.

Glazed cooking utensils – Only certain types of
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top use without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
over adjacent burners. If handles are left over
adjacent burners they will get hot and may burn.

Use of aluminum pans may cause metallic marking
of the grates. This does not affect the durability of
the enamel and may be cleaned off with a metal
polish.
Ovens

Use care when opening door.

CAUTION!
The inside door face is constructed with toughened
safety glass.
Take care NOT to scratch the surface when placing
cookware on the glass panel.
DO NOT close the door against the oven racks.
Accidental damage may cause the door glass panel
to fracture.

Let hot air and steam escape before removing or
replacing food.

Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make container burst and cause injury.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Placement of Oven Racks

Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot,
do not let potholder contact hot heating element in
oven.

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a range or on the backguard of a range -
children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.

General Safety Instructions
This appliance must be installed by a competent person in
accordance with the installation instructions. The installation
must comply with the relevant regulations and also the local
electricity supply company requirements.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Use for
any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device, (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for
additional ventilation, for example opening a window, or
more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where Xpresent.
The range should be serviced by a qualified service engineer
and only approved parts used. Have the installer show you
the location of the range circuit breaker. Mark it for easy
reference. Always allow the range to cool and then switch
off at the circuit breaker before cleaning or carrying out any
maintenance work, unless specified otherwise in this guide.

All parts of the range become hot with use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.

Take care when touching range, to minimize the
possibility of burns, always be certain that the
controls are in the OFF position and that it is cool
before attempting to clean the range.
Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe
spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some
cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Clean only parts listed in this guide.
In the interests of hygiene and safety the range should be
kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other food
stuff could result in a fire.
