Important safety information
• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled.
• To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least
20 seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature in the
liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these rst aid instructions:
1. Immerse the scalded area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions.
3. Cover with a clean, dry cloth.
• Place pots in the center of the grate. Do not
place a pot larger than 9” in diameter on the
rear burners. If you place an oversized pot in
the wrong position, it might disrupt necessary
air circulation and make the ame on the burner
sputter and burn inefciently.
• Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite
and burn you if they touch a surface burner.
• Do not leave plastic items on top of the range. Hot air from the vents on top
of the range can melt the plastic and may cause pressure build-up in closed
plastic containers. The melted plastic may clog the vents at the rear of the range.
Clogged vents may cause incorrect combustion which could result in gas leaks
and re. And you may get severe burns if you touch the surfaces near the vent
while the oven is operating.
• Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on the
cooktop. Damage or re could occur if the cooktop is hot.
• Always make sure foods being fried are thawed and dry. Moisture of any kind
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
• Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you
remove them to prevent any possibility of being burned.
• Do not put any combustible material or items around the range.
• Take care that your hands do not touch the burners when they are on. Turn off
the burners when you change a pan or pot.
• To warm liquid, such as sauces, stir it while warming.
Oven safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of re, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe
the following precautions.
• Do not use the oven for non-cooking purposes
such as drying clothes or storage. Use the oven
for cooking only.
• Make sure the inner portion of the split oven-
rack is in the proper position within the outer
rack.
• Make sure the oven racks are placed on the
same level on each side.
• Do not damage, move, or clean the door gasket.
• Do not spray water on the oven glass while the oven is on or just after you have
turned it off.
• Do not use aluminium foil or foil liners anywhere in the oven. Do not use
aluminium foil or similar material to cover any holes or passages in the oven
bottom or to cover an oven rack. This can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a re hazard.
• Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• When repositioning the oven racks, make sure the oven is completely cool.
• Only use cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens.
• To avoid damaging the burner control knobs, always bake and/or broil with the
oven door closed.
• Do not broil meat too close to the burner ame. Trim excess fat from meat before
cooking.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s
directions.
• NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire
rack with material, such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air ow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also
trap heat, causing a re hazard.
