Important Safety Instructions
If you receive a damaged product, immediately contact
•
your dealer or builder. Do not install or use a damaged
appliance.
Make sure that the range has been properly installed
•
and grounded by a qualified installer according to
the accompanying installation instructions. Have the
installer show you the location of the gas shut off valve
and the fuse or junction box so that you know where
and how to turn off the gas supply and power to the
range.
Do not install, repair or replace any part of the range
•
unless specifically recommended in the literature
accompanying it. A qualified service technician should
perform all other service.
Before performing any type of service, make sure that
•
the gas supply and electrical power to the range is
turned off.
Only use this range for cooking tasks expected of a
•
home appliance as outlined in this manual. This range
is not intended for commercial use.
DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACES OF THE RANGE
•
DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. After use,
make sure these surfaces have had sufficient time to
cool before touching them.
Make sure individuals who use the range are able to
•
operate it properly.
Never allow anyone, including children to sit, stand or
•
climb on any part of the range. Doing so may cause
damage, serious injury or death. Do not leave children
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.
Do not store items of interest to children on top of or
•
above the range. Children could be burned or injured
while climbing on the appliance.
Do not attempt to use this appliance in the event of a
•
power failure. If a power failure occurs while operating
the cooktop, turn all control knobs to the
OFF
position.
Do not tamper with the controls. Do not adjust or alter
•
any part of the range unless specifically instructed to
do so in these instructions.
Do not cover the burners and grates with anything
•
except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers
may cause a fire hazard or damage to the cooktop if a
burner is accidentally turned on with the cover in place.
Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby
•
food jars and cans. Pressure build up may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
Keep flammable items, such as paper, cardboard,
•
plastic and cloth away from the burners and other
hot surfaces. Do not allow pot holders to touch hot
surfaces or gas burners.
Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using
•
the range. Do not allow clothing to come into contact
with the range and surrounding areas during and
immediately after use.
Do not use towels or bulky cloth as pot holders.
•
Use only dry pot holders when removing food and
•
cookware from the cooktop or oven. Wet pot holders
can cause steam burns.
Do not hang flammable or heat sensitive objects over
•
the range.
If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains
•
as window treatment. The curtains could blow over the
cooktop and create a fire hazard.
To avoid the possibility of fire, do not leave the range
•
unattended when in use.
Clean the range thoroughly before operating it for the
•
first time.
Clean and maintain the range regularly as instructed in
•
the
Care and Cleaning
section of this manual. Keep
the entire range, ventilation filters and range hoods
free of grease that could catch fire.
Use cookware only for its intended purpose. Check
•
the manufacture’s recommendations before use to
determine if a utensil is suitable for use with a range.
Certain types of glass, ceramic and earthenware
are not suitable for use with a range. Personal injury
or damage may result from the improper use of
cookware.
Select cookware carefully. Use utensils of the proper
•
size, material and construction for the particular type
of cooking being done. Utensils need to be large
enough to contain the desired quantity of food without
boil-overs or spill-overs. Choose pans with easy to
hold handles that will stay cool while cooking. Do not
use utensils with loose handles. Avoid using pans that
are too heavy to lift safely.
Use extreme caution if adding water to food on a hot
•
cooktop or oven. The steam can cause serious burns
or scalds.
Make sure that all the cooktop parts are dry before
•
lighting a burner.
Turn the knobs to the OFF position prior to removing
•
them from the valve stems.
