The push-to-turn gas valve knobs on the appliance are designed to be child-safe, however, they are not a
guarantee of operation. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the kitchen while the appliance
is in use. Never leave the appliance unattended during use. Boil-overs may occur, causing spills which
may ignite.
Never wear loose fitting or long sleeved apparel while cooking. Never wear garments made of flammable
materials. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. DO NOT drape towels or other items on the
range door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.
If the range is located near a window, be certain window curtains or other flammable objects do not blow
over or near the range burners; the items could catch on fire.
When dehydrating food items, periodically check during the process to ensure that they do not catch on
fire.
If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft from the fan
could cause the flames to spread out of control.
Purchase a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher for your home and store it in close
proximity to your appliance. Should an uncontrolled fire occur, never use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan.
The oven door interior and exterior, especially the glass can get hot during operation. Do not touch the
glass
– use the door handle to open or close the range door.
ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired position before you start cooking and while the oven is cool.
Always use dry and sturdy pot-holders to carefully slide the oven rack out to add or remove food.
Care should be exercised if your appliance is equipped with a high-shelf. During heavy or continuous
use, this shelf may become hot. Do not place combustible materials or plastic items on the shelf.
ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
Turn the knobs to the
– OFF – position prior to removing them from the valve stems for cleaning.
When operating the surface burners, the flame should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or
pot. Excessive high flame settings may cause scorching of the nearby counter-top surface, as well as the
outside of the utensil and handles.
