Important Safety Instructions
•
Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces,
etc.) to remain on the range’s surfaces. The finishes
may stain.
•
Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
•
Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp
object such as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp
objects may scratch the range’s surfaces.
•
Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other
materials that can melt or burn up during self
cleaning and cause permanent damage to the oven.
•
Do not leave objects, such as aluminum foil, the
meat probe, cookie sheets, etc. on the bottom of
the oven. Objects left on the bottom of the oven
may cause damage.
•
Do not allow the broil element on the oven ceiling
to become covered up by cookie sheets, aluminum
foil, pots, pans, etc. Doing so could cause
overheating and damage the oven.
•
Always ensure that the light fixture lens cover
is in place when using the oven. It protects the
light bulb from breakage caused by high oven
temperatures or mechanical shock.
•
Use only dry pot holders when removing food
and cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot
holders can cause steam burns.
•
Do not heat eggs or unopened food containers such
as baby food jars and cans. Pressure build up may
cause them to burst and cause injury.
•
For your safety, do not use the oven to cook
without the convection filter installed. When the
filter is not installed, the spinning fan blades at the
back of the oven are exposed.
•
Do not leave children or pets alone or unattended
in the area around the range. Do not allow children
to play with the controls, pull on the handle or
touch other parts of the range.
•
Make sure individuals who use the range are able
to operate it properly.
•
Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for
the first time.
•
Clean and maintain the range regularly as
instructed in this manual. Keep the entire range,
ventilation filters and range hoods free of grease
that could catch fire.
•
Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than
one hour before or after cooking. Eating spoiled
food can result in food poisoning.
•
Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If the cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spill-overs
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately to replace a damaged cooktop.
•
Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to
birds. Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated
room during cooking.
•
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD, COOKING
UTENSILS, OVEN RACKS, THE CONVECTION FILTER,
ETC., IN THE OVEN DURING THE SELF CLEAN
CYCLE.
•
ATTENTION : NE LAISSER AUCUN ALIMENT,
UTENSILE DE CUISINE, GRILLES DU FOUR, LE
FILTRE DE CONVECTION, ETC., DANS LE FOUR
DURANT LE CYCLE D’AUTONETTOYAGE.
